This patch intends to introduce "reverse-data" property at nvmem
provider side to reverse buffer.

For a case used from Ethernet driver, of_get_mac_address() may call
of_get_mac_addr_nvmem() to get MAC address from nvmem device. MAC address
programed in imx-ocopt is MSB first in lowest address, so need reverse

Is all the data stored in imx-ocopt reverse byte order?

or someone decided to change the order for only mac-address?


data then feedback to nvmem consumer. E.g. MAC address read from
imx-ocopt is 98:e2:06:9f:04:00, after reversed the data is
00:04:9f:06:e2:98.

This flag also needs to go in struct nvmem_cell_info too.

You could possibly simplify this.

int i;

for (i = 0; i < len/2; i++)

Maybe NVMEM_FLAGS_REVERSE_BYTE_ORDER and some kerneldoc would help new users.
