Subject: [PATCH 06/14] nvmem: core: Add nvmem_cell_read_u8()

From: Andreas Färber <afaerber@...e.de>

Complement the u16, u32 and u64 helpers with a u8 variant to ease
accessing byte-sized values.

This helper will be useful for Realtek Digital Home Center platforms,
which store some byte and sub-byte sized values in non-volatile memory.
