docs: nvmem: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst
In order to be able to add it into a doc book, we need first convert it to ReST. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. While this is not part of any book, mark it as :orphan:, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
