I don't think this is the correct approach. You'll restrict that driver
to being read-only. I admit that right now, it's read only, but it can
be extended to also support efuse writing. With this changes, it's not
possible.

Why do you assume that all mediatek efuses will be the same? This should
rather be something like (in the dts/binding):

compatible = "mediatek,mt8173-efuse", "mmio-nvmem";

So if there is no driver for the particular efuse, it will fall back to the
generic one.
