This patch adds perm variable to nvmem_config structure which will allow
providers to specify the permissions required for the sysfs binary file.
This permission is applied on top of root-only access permissions set by
the core.

how about "umode_t mode" or "umode_t sysfs_mode"?

Yep, "umode_t mode" sounds much better.
I will use it that.

Beside that the whole series looks good to me.
