[PATCH REBASED 2/2] dt-bindings: nvmem: cells: add MAC address cell

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

This adds support for describing details of NVMEM cell containing MAC
address. Those are often device specific and could be nicely stored in
DT.

Initial documentation includes support for describing:
1. Cell data format (e.g. Broadcom's NVRAM uses ASCII to store MAC)
2. Reversed bytes flash (required for i.MX6/i.MX7 OCOTP support)
3. Source for multiple addresses (very common in home routers)
