dt-bindings: nvmem: add U-Boot environment variables binding
U-Boot uses environment variables for storing device setup data. It
usually needs to be accessed by a bootloader, kernel and often
user-space.
This binding allows describing environment data located in a raw flash
partition. It's treated as NVMEM device and can be reused later for
other storage devices.
Using DT should be cleaner than hardcoding & duplicating such info in
multiple places. Bootloader & kernel can share DTS and user-space can
try reading it too or just have correct data exposed by a kernel.
A custom "compatible" string allows system to automatically load
relevant NVMEM driver but phandle can be also used for reading raw
location.
