[RFC PATCH v2 0/2] Add write-once and file-backed features to OTP

[Green Wan]

First patch is to add file-backed implementation to allow users to assign
an OTP image file to machine. Users can assign the property, "otp-file",
to machine to enable it. File-backed feature is set to "NULL" string in
default. Any filename other than "NULL" is used as OTP image file.

For example, '-M sifive_u,otp-file="otp.img"'

To keep data up-to-date due to an unexpected crash or CTRL+a-x exit, every
read/write command to OTP memory involves file open, mmap and close
operation to the image file.

Second patch is to add 'write-once' feature to block second write to the
OTP memory. Only keep the 'written' state for non-control register range
from 0x38 to 16KB.

Tested on sifive_u for both qemu and u-boot.
