I think read_only should be set if any of the device node property or
nvmem_config->read_only request it. That way, even if the nvmem is
theoretically writeable (no read-only property in DT), the driver still
can make it read-only if writing isn't implemented:

+	nvmem->read_only = nvmem->dev.of_node ?
+				of_property_read_bool(nvmem->dev.of_node,
+				"read-only") : 0;
+	nvmem->read_only |= config->read_only;

Should that be const?

Then that could be made const, too.
