That's true, but I expect this to be really MTD specific.
A concrete proposal below.

I'm not sure I agree with this statement. We are not preventing new
binding/driver to use fixed cells, or...? We offer a new way to expose
nvmem cells with another way than "fixed-offset" and "fixed-size" OF
nodes.

I am wondering how mtd specific this is? For me all OF nodes containing
the nvmem-cells compatible should be treated as cells providers and
populate nvmem cells as for each children.
Why don't we just check for this compatible to be present? in
nvmem_add_cells_from_of() ? And if not we just skip the operation.
This way we still follow the bindings (even though using nvmem-cells in
the compatible property to require cells population was a mistake in
the first place, as discussed in the devlink thread recently) but there
is no need for a per-driver config option?
