This patch adds read/write apis which are based on nvmem_device. It is
common that the drivers like omap cape manager or qcom cpr driver to
access bytes directly at particular offset in the eeprom and not from
nvmem cell info in DT. These driver would need to get access to the nvmem
directly, which is what these new APIS provide.
These wrapper apis would help such users to avoid code duplication in
there drivers and also avoid them reading a big eeprom blob and parsing
it internally in there driver.

This patch adds just consumers part of the framework just to enable easy
review.
Up until now, nvmem drivers were stored in drivers/misc, where they all
had to duplicate pretty much the same code to register a sysfs file,
allow in-kernel users to access the content of the devices they were
driving, etc.
This was also a problem as far as other in-kernel users were involved,
since the solutions used were pretty much different from on driver to
another, there was a rather big abstraction leak.
This introduction of this framework aims at solving this. It also
introduces DT representation for consumer devices to go get the data they
require (MAC Addresses, SoC/Revision ID, part numbers, and so on) from
the nvmems.
Having regmap interface to this framework would give much better
abstraction for nvmems on different buses.
