mtd: ubi: provide NVMEM layer over UBI volumes
In an ideal world we would like UBI to be used where ever possible on a NAND chip. And with UBI support in ARM Trusted Firmware and U-Boot it is possible to achieve an (almost-)all-UBI flash layout. Hence the need for a way to also use UBI volumes to store board-level constants, such as MAC addresses and calibration data of wireless interfaces. Add UBI volume NVMEM driver module exposing UBI volumes as NVMEM providers. Allow UBI devices to have a "volumes" firmware subnode with volumes which may be compatible with "nvmem-cells". Access to UBI volumes via the NVMEM interface at this point is read-only, and it is slow, opening and closing the UBI volume for each access due to limitations of the NVMEM provider API.
