I have hacked up some thing on these lines to add a custom match
function for nvmem provider and it looks like it can work for mtd case.
This addresses concern #1 "to ignore of_node from dev pointer passed to
nvmem_config" also provides way to do some sanity checks on nvmem cell node.
In this patch I have just added a simple mtd_nvmem_match() example which
will be always true, however we can add checks here to see if the np is
actually a nvmem-cells node or something on those lines to enforce the
bindings. Please fix and remove this from nvmem-core patch incase you
plan to use/test this.
We still have one open issue of supporting #address-cells and
#size-cells in nvmem, which I can look at if you are happy with this
approach!

nvmem: core: add custom match function support
Some nvmem providers might not have a simple DT layout, nvmem cells
could be part of the unpartioned space or with-in partition or
even in sub partition of the provider.
Current matching function is expecting that the provider should be
immediate parent of the cell, which might not be true for the above
cases. So allow a custom match function for such devices which can
validate and match the cell as per the provider specific bindings.
