Thank you for the review, however I have just found a still unresolved
memleak when zeroes are returned, so there is v2.


That said, do you think we could replace the nvmem_cell_read() with a
call to nvmem_cell_read_u8() to avoid the need to clean it up instead?

It might be a good idea to do it in a separate change, nvmem_cell_read_u8()
is found in v5.9 and later versions, so its usage prevents a probable
backport to stable branches, because the original problem comes in v4.12.

FWIW the sent fix should be clearly applicable to v4.20 and later versions
only, if it's needed, separate changes are required to cover v4.12-v4.20
range.
