[PATCH v1 4/7] regmap: Add reg_seal operation for hardware protection

[Oleksij Rempel]

Add a new 'reg_seal' operation to the regmap bus interface, along
with a public API `regmap_seal()`. This is needed for drivers that
must perform hardware-level "sealing" or permanent write-protection
on registers/words, a capability not covered by standard regmap
read/write ops.

The initial use case is for the STM32 BSEC driver (coming in a
follow-up patch) to lock One-Time Programmable (OTP) memory words.
This gives explicit control to make OTP entries permanently read-only
after programming.
