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.
And they will get it wrong, please don't do this.

thanks,
