Broadcom ARM home routers store SPROM content in NVRAM just like MIPS
ones. To share SPROM code we need to move it out of arch/mips/ to some
common place. We already have bcm47xx_nvram in firmware path and SPROM
should fit there as well.
This driver is responsible for parsing SoC configuration data into a
struct shared between ssb and bcma buses.
This was tested with BCM4706 & BCM5357C0 (BCM47XX) and BCM4708A0
(ARCH_BCM_5301X).

After Broadcom switched from MIPS to ARM for their home routers we need
to have NVRAM driver in some common place (not arch/mips/). As explained
in Kconfig, this driver is responsible for parsing SoC configuration
data that is passed to the kernel in flash from the bootloader firmware
called "CFE".
We were thinking about putting it in bus directory, however there are
two possible buses for MIPS: drivers/ssb/ and drivers/bcma/. So this
won't fit there and this is why I would like to move this driver to the
drivers/firmware/.
