NVMEM layouts are used to generate NVMEM cells during runtime. Think of
an EEPROM with a well-defined conent. For now, the content can be
described by a device tree or a board file. But this only works if the
offsets and lengths are static and don't change. One could also argue
that putting the layout of the EEPROM in the device tree is the wrong
place. Instead, the device tree should just have a specific compatible
string.
Right now there are two use cases:
(1) The NVMEM cell needs special processing. E.g. if it only specifies
a base MAC address offset and you need to add an offset, or it
needs to parse a MAC from ASCII format or some proprietary format.
(Post processing of cells is added in a later commit).
(2) u-boot environment parsing. The cells don't have a particular
offset but it needs parsing the content to determine the offsets
and length.

Update the example to reflect the new API. I have chosen the brcm-nvram
driver since it seems to be simpler than the qfprom driver.

Since commit 795ddd18d38f ("nvmem: core: remove regmap dependency"),
nvmem devices do not use the regmap API. Remove references to it from
the documentation.

nvmem_device_find provides a way to search for nvmem devices with
the help of a match function simlair to bus_find_device.

There are lots of documents under Documentation/*.txt and a few other
orphan documents elsehwere that belong to the driver-API book.
Move them to their right place.
