Is all the data stored in imx-ocopt reverse byte order?

or someone decided to change the order for only mac-address?

This flag also needs to go in struct nvmem_cell_info too.

You could possibly simplify this.

static void nvmem_buffer_reverse(u8 *buf, int len)
{
	int i;

	for (i = 0; i < len/2; i++)
		swap(buf[i], buf[len - i - 1]);
}

Maybe NVMEM_FLAGS_REVERSE_BYTE_ORDER and some kerneldoc would help new 
users.
