nvmem: add explicit config option to read old syntax fixed OF cells
Binding for fixed NVMEM cells defined directly as NVMEM device subnodes has been deprecated. It has been replaced by the "fixed-layout" NVMEM layout binding. New syntax is meant to be clearer and should help avoiding imprecise bindings. NVMEM subsystem already supports the new binding. It should be a good idea to limit support for old syntax to existing drivers that actually support & use it (we can't break backward compatibility!). That way we additionally encourage new bindings & drivers to ignore deprecated binding. It wasn't clear (to me) if rtc and w1 code actually uses old syntax fixed cells. I enabled them to don't risk any breakage.
