Platform NVRAMs often contain values with spaces. Even if right now most
firmware-supported entries are simple values, we shouldn't reject these
with spaces. It was semi-confirmed by Broadcom in the early patch adding
support for platform NVRAMs.

V2: Minor change in commit message only. Provide an example of NVRAM entry
using space (not just a '#'). It's unprefixed (shouldn't be uploaded to
hardware anyway), but proves it's allowed in general.
V3: As commented by Arend, accept space only (not a '#').
V4: Fix typo in "Broadcom" in commit message
