Allow drivers that use the nvmem API to read data stored on MTD devices.
For this the mtd devices are registered as read-only NVMEM providers.

What happened to the 2 other patches of Alban's series? I'd really
like the DT case to be handled/agreed on in the same patchset, but
IIRC, Alban and Srinivas disagreed on how this should be represented.
I hope this time we'll come to an agreement, because the MTD <-> NVMEM
glue has been floating around for quite some time...

These other patches were to fix what I consider a fundamental flaw in
the generic NVMEM bindings, however we couldn't agree on this point.
Bartosz later contacted me to take over this series and I suggested to
just change the MTD NVMEM binding to use a compatible string on the
NVMEM cells as an alternative solution to fix the clash with the old
style MTD partition.

However all this has no impact on the code needed to add NVMEM support
to MTD, so the above patch didn't change at all.
