From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This series addresses a couple problems with memory management in nvmem core. We fix an earlier memory leak in error path in patch 2/6. Patches 1/6, 5/6 & 6/6 add reference counting to gpio_desc structure and use it to correctly free the write-protect GPIO. Patches 3/6 & 4/6 fix newline problems.
