Some Microchip/SST QSPI flashes (e.g. the SST26VF064BEUI) are factory
programmed with globally unique, write-protected EUI-48 and EUI-64
identifiers stored in a vendor-specific SFDP parameter table. On boards
that have no on-board EEPROM (sama5d27_wlsom1, sama5d29 curiosity,
sam9x75 curiosity) this is a reliable source for an Ethernet MAC address,
instead of relying on a U-Boot-provided or random address.

This v5 reworks the approach into a generic NVMEM framework with no vendor
code in the SPI NOR core:
 - The SPI NOR core now exposes the entire SFDP as a generic read-only
   NVMEM device, rooted at a new "sfdp" child node of the flash.
 - A new NVMEM layout driver (drivers/nvmem/layouts/) locates the
   Microchip vendor parameter table at runtime and presents the EUI-48 as
   a "mac-address" cell.
 - Arbitrary parameters can be read with a standard fixed-layout
   (known offset) or with an nvmem-layout parser (location discovered at runtime).

Changes in v5:
 - 1/7 and 5/7 - Add R-b tags
 - 3/7- Rework the comments, function name and commit message.Check all the nodes
        (for_each_available_child) for the right compatible "jedec,sfdp" instead
		of node name.

Changes in v4:
 - Rework per v3 review: remove the vendor-specific SFDP handling from the
   SPI NOR core; expose the whole SFDP as a generic read-only NVMEM device
   and move the EUI extraction into an nvmem-layout driver.
 - Introduce a new nvmem-layout driver to discover the vendor-table location
   at runtime; no offset hardcoded in the device tree.
 - Describe the SFDP via a dedicated "sfdp" subnode (compatible
   "jedec,sfdp"), which also resolves the v3 dtbs_check "Unevaluated
   properties ('nvmem-layout')" warning.
 - Reverse the stored EUI bytes into canonical MAC order.
 - Enable the layout in sama5_defconfig.

 Changes in v3:
 - 2/3 - add support to update the QSPI partition into 'fixed-partition'
   binding in sama5d27_wlsom1
 - 3/3 - add nvmem-layout in qspi node for EUI48 MAC Address and nvmem cell
   properties for macb node in sama5d27_wlsom1

Changes in v2:
 - 1/3 - parse the SST vendor table, read and store the addresses
  into a resource - managed space. Register the addresses
  into NVMEM framework
 - 2/3 - add support to update the QSPI partition into 'fixed-partition'
  binding

Add an optional "sfdp" child node (compatible "jedec,sfdp") that
describes the SFDP as a read-only NVMEM provider via nvmem.yaml, so its
contents (e.g. a vendor EUI-48/EUI-64) can be read through NVMEM cells.

Add a binding for the NVMEM layout that exposes the factory-programmed
EUI-48 identifier from the Microchip/SST vendor-specific SFDP parameter
table (e.g. SST26VF064BEUI) as a "mac-address" NVMEM cell, and reference
it from nvmem-layout.yaml.

The SPI NOR core already reads the SFDP tables during enumeration and
caches them in nor->sfdp->dwords (see spi_nor_parse_sfdp()). Re-expose
that cached data as a read-only NVMEM device, in on-flash byte order,
rooted at the flash's SFDP child node (compatible "jedec,sfdp").

This lets NVMEM cells reference any SFDP data: a fixed-layout for
parameters at a known offset, or an nvmem-layout parser for vendor data
whose location must be discovered at runtime.The device is only registered
when an "sfdp" node is present in the device tree.

Add an NVMEM layout that exposes the factory-programmed EUI-48 identifier
from the Microchip/SST vendor SFDP parameter table (e.g. SST26VF064BEUI)
as a "mac-address" cell, for use as a network MAC address. The vendor
table is located at runtime via the SFDP NVMEM device (no offset in DT),
and a read_post_process callback reverses the LSB-first bytes into
canonical MAC order. Binds to an "nvmem-layout" node with compatible

Move the QSPI flash partitions under a "partitions" node with the
"fixed-partitions" compatible, as required by the current MTD partition
binding, instead of declaring them as direct children of the flash node.
No functional change.

Describe the QSPI flash SFDP as an NVMEM provider with the
microchip,sst26vf-sfdp-eui layout, which exposes the factory-programmed
EUI-48 as a "mac-address" cell, and point macb0 at it through
nvmem-cells. This yields a stable MAC address on boards where U-Boot does
not program one, instead of falling back to a random address.

.. you move all this into the core, as the sfdp.c is just for

There is already of_get_compatible_child() doing exactly this.

Or rather NVEMEM_DEVID_NONE? There will ever be just one SFDP nvmem
device.

How does the sysfs path looks like?

Currently the sysfs looks like:

/sys/bus/nvmem/devices/sfdp0

I kept AUTO so that the bare "sfdp" name would clash on a board(if any) 
with a second flash exposing a "jedec,sfdp" node.

Ah ok. I thought it would have something with spi0,0 in it's path.
So yeah, there could of course be multiple flashes with SFDP.
