On embedded devices using an eMMC it is common that one or more partitions on the eMMC are used to store MAC addresses and Wi-Fi calibration EEPROM data. Allow referencing the partition in device tree for the kernel and Wi-Fi drivers accessing it via the NVMEM layer. NVMEM is registered for a block device whose OF node describes an NVMEM layout, either via an "nvmem-layout" child or by being a "fixed-layout" node itself (e.g. an eMMC boot partition associated through its mmc-card node). The NVMEM device is a read-only side channel: the block device stays fully usable, reads are performed with a non-exclusive BLK_OPEN_READ open, and no synchronization is done against concurrent writes to the same region. This is acceptable for the intended use case of write-once, factory-provisioned data.
