Isn't this just

	return of_get_child_by_name(nvmem->dev.of_node, name);

This is really assuming that node name will be same as name passed in 
nvmem_cell_info which might not be always true.

This seems be very specific with brcm and this code does not belong in 
nvmem core.

How about adding device_node to struct nvmem_cell_info and update this 
of_node as part of brcm_nvram_parse()?
