Well, I don't require anything ;-) It is the thunderbolt driver that has
one nvmem device that is write-only and it may take advantage of this.

I would say no sysfs attribute should ever be writable by the world.

Actually I think maybe we make this one only writeable by root, in other
words it would always require ->root_only to be set.

This should also be documented in kernel-doc of struct nvmem_config.
