I already sent a patch for that and it goes even further by completely
dropping "no_of_node" which isn't needed anymore. See:
[PATCH] Revert "nvmem: add new config option"
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/ba3c419a-6511-480a-b5f2-6c418f9c02e7@gmail.com/t/

It's waiting for over 2 months already and just recently I re-asked
Srini to queue it so hopefully it won't miss another merge window.
