nvmem: brcm_nvram: store a copy of NVRAM content

This driver uses MMIO access for reading NVRAM from a flash device.
Underneath there is a flash controller that reads data and provides
mapping window.

Using MMIO interface affects controller configuration and may break real
controller driver. It was reported by multiple users of devices with
NVRAM stored on NAND.

Modify driver to read & cache NVRAM content during init and use that
copy to provide NVMEM data when requested. On NAND flashes due to their
alignment NVRAM partitions can be quite big (1 MiB and more) while
actual NVRAM content stays quite small (usually 16 to 32 KiB). To avoid
allocating so much memory check for actual data length.
