dt-bindings: nvmem: fixed-cell: add compatible for MAC cells A lot of home routers have NVMEM fixed cells containing MAC address that need some further processing. In ~99% cases MAC needs to be: 1. Optionally parsed from ASCII format 2. Increased by a vendor-picked value There was already an attempt to design a binding for that at NVMEM device level in the past. It wasn't accepted though as it didn't really fit NVMEM device layer. The introduction of NVMEM fixed-cells layout seems to be an opportunity to provide a relevant binding in a clean way. This commit adds a *generic* compatible string: "mac-base". As always it needs to be carefully reviewed. OpenWrt project currently supports ~300 home routers that have NVMEM cell with binary-stored base MAC.T hose devices are manufactured by multiple vendors. There are TP-Link devices (76 of them), Netgear (19), D-Link (11), OpenMesh (9), EnGenius (8), GL.iNet (8), ZTE (7), Xiaomi (5), Ubiquiti (6) and more. Those devices don't share an architecture or SoC. Another 200 devices have base MAC stored in an ASCII format (not all those devices have been converted to DT though). It would be impractical to provide unique "compatible" strings for NVMEM layouts of all those devices. It seems like a valid case for allowing a generic binding instead. Even if this binding will not be sufficient for some further devices it seems to be useful enough as it is.

dt-bindings: nvmem: layouts: add fixed-layout With the introduction of NVMEM layouts, new NVMEM content structures should be defined as such. We should also try to convert / migrate existing NVMEM content bindings to layouts. This commit handles fixed NVMEM cells. So far they had to be defined directly - as device subnodes. With this change it's allowed to put them in the DT node named "nvmem-layout". Having NVMEM cells in separated node is preferred as it draws a nice line between NVMEM device and its content. It results in cleaner bindings. FWIW a very similar situation has happened to MTD devices and their partitions: see commit 5d96ea42eb63 ("dt-bindings: mtd: Clarify all partition subnodes").
