I did not tested it, but it seems the NVMEM consumer API has some kind
of non-DT fallback:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/nvmem/core.c#L827

Right now, it seems to me that it does not handle the case where we have
a of_node but don't want to use it... You might need to add some extra
handling if there is a of_node without nvmem-cell-names/nvmem-cells, and
fall back to nvmem_cell_get_from_list.
