nvmem: add support for the write-protect pin
The write-protect pin handling looks like a standard property that could benefit other users if available in the core nvmem framework. Instead of modifying all the memory drivers to check this pin, make the NVMEM subsystem check if the write-protect GPIO being passed through the nvmem_config or defined in the device tree and pull it low whenever writing to the memory. There was a suggestion for introducing the gpiodesc from pdata, but as pdata is already removed it could be replaced by adding it to nvmem_config.
