[PATCH v6 7/7] mtd: ubi: provide NVMEM layer over UBI volumes

In an ideal world we would like UBI to be used where ever possible on a
NAND chip. And with UBI support in ARM Trusted Firmware and U-Boot it
is possible to achieve an (almost-)all-UBI flash layout. Hence the need
for a way to also use UBI volumes to store board-level constants, such
as MAC addresses and calibration data of wireless interfaces.

Add UBI volume NVMEM driver module exposing UBI volumes as NVMEM
providers. Allow UBI devices to have a "volumes" firmware subnode with
volumes which may be compatible with "nvmem-cells".
Access to UBI volumes via the NVMEM interface at this point is
read-only, and it is slow, opening and closing the UBI volume for each
access due to limitations of the NVMEM provider API.
