Lets get rid of this Kconfig as Wolfram suggested.
We are already adding NVMEM_COMPAT in the nvmem_device structrure lets move the flags into the struct nvmem_config and use the nvmem_register api as it is.

nvmem_register() can decide what do do with that from there.
I would also prefer a warning if this flag is set, this is to deter any new users.

Let me know your thoughts?
