From: Michael Walle <michael@xxxxxxxx> Prior to commit 3cb05fdbaed6 ("nvmem: core: add an index parameter to the cell") of_nvmem_cell_get() would return -ENOENT if the cell wasn't found. Particularly, if of_property_match_string() returned -EINVAL, that return code was passed as the index to of_parse_phandle(), which then detected it as invalid and returned NULL. That led to an return code of -ENOENT. With the new code, the negative index will lead to an -EINVAL of of_parse_phandle_with_optional_args() which pass straight to the caller and break those who expect an -ENOENT. Fix it by always returning -ENOENT.
