[PATCH 2/5] Mechanism to enable use Generic NVRAM driver for different size chips

[Martyn Welch]

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.
