Allow drivers that use the nvmem API to read data stored on MTD devices.
This add a simple mtd user that register itself as a read-only nvmem
device.

Good stuff!! and useful for MAC addresses.

Am not going to repeat the same comments as Boris, but I totally agree with his comments.

May be we should move this driver to drivers/nvmem/

we should prefix the property with mtd to make to more explicit that this is very much specific to MTD.

May be we can use of_nvmem_find() directly here and avoid all this list and lock thingy. It should make the driver much simpler.

Am sure we can add exception to make of_nvmem_find() symbol public if its helping providers like this.

+

I will be nice to feedback error to top layer, as it does not make sense to remove providers if there are active consumers using it.

del_mtd_device(), unregister_mtd_user() have return values, I see no reason why notifiers should not return errors.
May be if we should fix the remove() call backs to handle and return errors.
