Subject: [PATCH 1/2] nvmem: stm32: add warning when upper OTPs are updated

As the upper OTPs are ECC protected, they support only one 32 bits word
programming.
For a second modification of this word, these ECC become invalid and
this OTP will be no more accessible, the shadowed value is invalid.

This patch adds a warning to indicate an upper OTP update, because this
operation is dangerous as OTP is not locked by the driver after the first
update to avoid a second update.
