This patch adds mode variable to nvmem_config structure which will allow
providers to specify the permissions for the sysfs binary file.
This mode is applied on top of root-only access permissions set by
the core.

Having this flag would give more flexibility to providers to decide
which permissions to set on the sysfs binary file entry.
