Hi,

U-Boot has indeed the counterpart functionality of bootcount feature, 
however, in this particularly case is not called `u-boot,bootcount-nvmem`.
If you have any suggestions I'm happy to change it.
Should I remove the `linux` prefix?

It's the magic value. Seems to be a mistake in the description.
I'll correct this.

Ok. I will remove it in that case.

This is the configuration for NVMEM cell provider and is done according 
to bindings/nvmem.yaml document.
Is here something that I'm missing?

At least this method of declaring NVMEM cells providers are decoupling 
the code from hardware declaration resulting in a more robust code.
