Subject: nvmem: core: fix error handling while validating keepout regions
From: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit de0534df93474f268486c486ea7e01b44a478026 upstream.
Current error path on failure of validating keepout regions is calling
put_device, eventhough the device is not even registered at that point.
Fix this by adding proper error handling of freeing ida and nvmem.
