powerpc/nvram: Enable use Generic NVRAM driver for different size chips
Remove the reliance on a staticly defined NVRAM size, allowing platforms to support NVRAMs with sizes differing from the standard. A fall back value is provided for platforms not supporting this extension. Signed-off-by: Martyn Welch <martyn.welch@gefanuc.com> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
