[PATCH 1/3] [RFC] dt-bindings: nvmem: syscon: Add syscon backed nvmem bindings

Add trivial bindings for driver which permits exposing syscon backed
register to userspace. This is useful e.g. to expose U-Boot boot
counter on various platforms where the boot counter is stored in
random volatile register, like STM32MP15xx TAMP_BKPxR register.
