[PATCH RFC 3/3] nvmem: add permission flags in nvmem_config

[Srinivas Kandagatla]

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.
