hwmon: (spd5118) Add support for reading SPD data
Add support for reading SPD NVMEM data from SPD5118 (Jedec JESD300) compliant memory modules. NVMEM write operation is not supported. NVMEM support is optional. If CONFIG_NVMEM is disabled, the driver will still instantiate but not provide NVMEM attribute files.

+SPD (Serial Presence Detect) support
+------------------------------------

+The driver also supports reading the SPD NVRAM on SPD5118 compatible chips.
+SPD data is available from the 'eeprom' binary attribute file attached to the
+chip's I2C device.
