I believe we should not introduce "intermediate state" bindings when
this is not strictly required, in order to avoid confusion with what is
backward and what is transitory. So I would expect this to only apply
after the switch to:

	nvmem-layout@xxx {
		reg = <xxx>;

I don't care who will take care of it, but I think it would be better
to have everything in one series.

Other than the "order" problematic which I think is important here, I
agree with this series.
