f6e734a8c1 MIPS: BCM47xx: Move NVRAM driver to the drivers/firmware/
After Broadcom switched from MIPS to ARM for their home routers we need
to have NVRAM driver in some common place (not arch/mips/). As explained
in Kconfig, this driver is responsible for parsing SoC configuration
data that is passed to the kernel in flash from the bootloader firmware
called "CFE".

We were thinking about putting it in bus directory, however there are
two possible buses for MIPS: drivers/ssb/ and drivers/bcma/. So this
won't fit there and this is why I would like to move this driver to the
drivers/firmware/.

55cab93bcf mips: bcm47xx: allow retrieval of complete nvram contents
Host platforms such as routers supported by OpenWrt can
support NVRAM reading directly from internal NVRAM store.
The brcmfmac for one requires the complete nvram contents
to select what needs to be sent to wireless device.

138173d4e8 MIPS: BCM47xx: Move NVRAM header to the include/linux/.
There are two reasons for having this header in the common place:
1) Simplifying drivers that read NVRAM entries. We will be able to
   safely call bcm47xx_nvram_* functions without #ifdef-s.
2) Getting NVRAM driver out of MIPS arch code. This is needed to support
   BCM5301X arch which also requires this NVRAM driver. Patch for that
   will follow once we get is reviewed.
