On 11 Oct 2022, it was reported that the crc32 verification
of the u-boot environment failed only on big-endian systems
for the u-boot-env nvmem layout driver with the following error.
Invalid calculated CRC32: 0x88cd6f09 (expected: 0x096fcd88)
This problem has been present since the driver was introduced,
and before it was made into a layout driver.
The suggested fix at the time was to use further endianness
conversion macros in order to have both the stored and calculated
crc32 values to compare always represented in the system's endianness.
This was not accepted due to sparse warnings
and some disagreement on how to handle the situation.
Later on in a newer revision of the patch, it was proposed to use
cpu_to_le32() for both values to compare instead of le32_to_cpu()
and store the values as __le32 type to remove compilation errors.
The necessity of this is based on the assumption that the use of crc32()
requires endianness conversion because the algorithm uses little-endian,
however, this does not prove to be the case and the issue is unrelated.
Upon inspecting the current kernel code,
there already is an existing use of le32_to_cpu() in this driver,
which suggests there already is special handling for big-endian systems,
however, it is big-endian systems that have the problem.
This, being the only functional difference between architectures
in the driver combined with the fact that the suggested fix
was to use the exact same endianness conversion for the values
brings up the possibility that it was not necessary to begin with,
as the same endianness conversion for two values expected to be the same
is expected to be equivalent to no conversion at all.
After inspecting the u-boot environment of devices of both endianness
and trying to remove the existing endianness conversion,
the problem is resolved in an equivalent way as the other suggested fixes.
Ultimately, it seems that u-boot is agnostic to endianness
at least for the purpose of environment variables.
In other words, u-boot reads and writes the stored crc32 value
with the same endianness that the crc32 value is calculated with
in whichever endianness a certain architecture runs on.
Therefore, the u-boot-env driver does not need to convert endianness.
Remove the usage of endianness macros in the u-boot-env driver,
and change the type of local variables to maintain the same return type.
If there is a special situation in the case of endianness,
it would be a corner case and should be handled by a unique "compatible".
Even though it is not necessary to use endianness conversion macros here,
it may be useful to use them in the future for consistent error printing.

There are a few places in the tree which compute the length of the
string representation of a MAC address as 3 * ETH_ALEN - 1. Define a
constant for this and use it where relevant. No functionality changes
are expected.

U-Boot environment variables are stored in a specific format. Actual
data can be placed in various storage sources (MTD, UBI volume, EEPROM,
NVRAM, etc.).
Move all generic (NVMEM device independent) code from NVMEM device
driver to an NVMEM layout driver. Then add a simple NVMEM layout code on
top of it.
This allows using NVMEM layout for parsing U-Boot env data stored in any
kind of NVMEM device.
The old NVMEM glue driver stays in place for handling bindings in the
MTD context. To avoid code duplication it uses exported layout parsing
function. Please note that handling MTD & NVMEM layout bindings may be
refactored in the future.

Simply pass whole "struct nvmem_layout" instead of single variables.
There is nothing in "struct nvmem_layout" that we have to hide from
layout drivers. They also access it during .probe() and .remove().
Thanks to this change:
1. API gets more consistent
All layouts drivers callbacks get the same argument
2. Layouts get correct device
Before this change NVMEM core code was passing NVMEM device instead
of layout device. That resulted in:
* Confusing prints
* Calling devm_*() helpers on wrong device
* Helpers like of_device_get_match_data() dereferencing NULLs
3. It gets possible to get match data
First of all nvmem_layout_get_match_data() requires passing "struct
nvmem_layout" which .add_cells() callback didn't have before this. It
doesn't matter much as it's rather useless now anyway (and will be
dropped).
What's more important however is that of_device_get_match_data() can
be used now thanks to owning a proper device pointer.

Current layout support was initially written without modules support in
mind. When the requirement for module support rose, the existing base
was improved to adopt modularization support, but kind of a design flaw
was introduced. With the existing implementation, when a storage device
registers into NVMEM, the core tries to hook a layout (if any) and
populates its cells immediately. This means, if the hardware description
expects a layout to be hooked up, but no driver was provided for that,
the storage medium will fail to probe and try later from
scratch. Even if we consider that the hardware description shall be
correct, we could still probe the storage device (especially if it
contains the rootfs).
One way to overcome this situation is to consider the layouts as
devices, and leverage the native notifier mechanism. When a new NVMEM
device is registered, we can populate its nvmem-layout child, if any,
and wait for the matching to be done in order to get the cells (the
waiting can be easily done with the NVMEM notifiers). If the layout
driver is compiled as a module, it should automatically be loaded. This
way, there is no strong order to enforce, any NVMEM device creation
or NVMEM layout driver insertion will be observed as a new event which
may lead to the creation of additional cells, without disturbing the
probes with costly (and sometimes endless) deferrals.
In order to achieve that goal we create a new bus for the nvmem-layouts
with minimal logic to match nvmem-layout devices with nvmem-layout
drivers. All this infrastructure code is created in the layouts.c file.

This layout applies on top of any non volatile storage device containing
an ONIE table factory flashed. This table follows the tlv
(type-length-value) organization described in the link below. We cannot
afford using regular parsers because the content of these tables is
manufacturer specific and must be dynamically discovered.

This layout applies to the VPD of the Kontron sl28 boards. The VPD only
contains a base MAC address. Therefore, we have to add an individual
offset to it. This is done by taking the second argument of the nvmem
phandle into account. Also this let us checking the VPD version and the
checksum.

NVMEM layouts are used to generate NVMEM cells during runtime. Think of
an EEPROM with a well-defined conent. For now, the content can be
described by a device tree or a board file. But this only works if the
offsets and lengths are static and don't change. One could also argue
that putting the layout of the EEPROM in the device tree is the wrong
place. Instead, the device tree should just have a specific compatible
string.
Right now there are two use cases:
(1) The NVMEM cell needs special processing. E.g. if it only specifies
a base MAC address offset and you need to add an offset, or it
needs to parse a MAC from ASCII format or some proprietary format.
(Post processing of cells is added in a later commit).
(2) u-boot environment parsing. The cells don't have a particular
offset but it needs parsing the content to determine the offsets
and length.
