Subject: [PATCH RFC linux] dt-bindings: nvmem: Add binding for U-Boot environment NVMEM provider

Add device tree bindings for U-Boot environment NVMEM provider.

U-Boot environment can be stored at a specific offset of a MTD device,
EEPROM, MMC, NAND or SATA device, on an UBI volume, or in a file on a
filesystem.

The environment can contain information such as device's MAC address,
which should be used by the ethernet controller node.

+  This binding represents U-Boot's environment NVMEM settings which can be
+  stored on a specific offset of an EEPROM, MMC, NAND or SATA device, or
+  an UBI volume, or in a file on a filesystem.

+          If the variable name contains characters not allowed in device tree node

+          are stored as strings in U-Boot environment, for proper conversion the
+          type needs to be specified. Use one of the U_BOOT_ENV_TYPE_* prefixed
+          definitions from include/dt-bindings/nvmem/u-boot-env.h.
