two post_processing callbacks for cells is confusing tbh, we could 
totally move to use of cell->post_process.

one idea is to point cell->post_process to nvmem->cell_post_process 
during cell creation time which should clean this up a bit.

Other option is to move to using layouts for every thing.

prefixing post_process with read should also make it explicit that this 
callback is very specific to reads only.

Post process was always implicitly for reads only, this check should 
also tie the loose ends of cell_post_processing callback.
