[PATCH 1/5] of: partition: don't parse nvmem-cells in legacy OF binding

There are not many upstream instances of nvmem-cells, but all
of them place nvmem-cells inside a partitions container and the
nvmem-cells binding was added way later than the fixed-partitions
binding.

Therefore, let's simplify the code by supporting nvmem-cells only
inside a fixed-partitions container.
