nvmem: disallow modular CONFIG_NVMEM
The new of_get_nvmem_mac_address() helper function causes a link error with CONFIG_NVMEM=m: drivers/of/of_net.o: In function `of_get_nvmem_mac_address': of_net.c:(.text+0x168): undefined reference to `of_nvmem_cell_get' of_net.c:(.text+0x19c): undefined reference to `nvmem_cell_read' of_net.c:(.text+0x1a8): undefined reference to `nvmem_cell_put' I could not come up with a good solution for this, as the code is always built-in. Using an #if IS_REACHABLE() check around it would solve the link time issue but then stop it from working in that configuration. Making of_nvmem_cell_get() an inline function could also solve that, but seems a bit ugly since it's somewhat larger than most inline functions, and it would just bring that problem into the callers. Splitting the function into a separate file might be an alternative. This uses the big hammer by making CONFIG_NVMEM itself a 'bool' symbol, which avoids the problem entirely but makes the vmlinux larger for anyone that might use NVMEM support but doesn't need it built-in otherwise.
