Subject: [PATCH] mtd: core: provide unique name for nvmem device

If there is more than one mtd device which supports OTP, there will
be a kernel warning about duplicated sysfs entries and the probing will
fail. This is because the nvmem device name is not unique. Make it
unique by prepending the name of the mtd. E.g. before the name was
"user-otp", now it will be "mtd0-user-otp".

For reference the kernel splash is:
