nvmem: core: Return NULL when no nvmem layout is found
[ Upstream commit 81e1d9a39569d315f747c2af19ce502cd08645ed ]
Currently, of_nvmem_layout_get_container() returns NULL on error, or an
error pointer if either CONFIG_NVMEM or CONFIG_OF is turned off. We
should likely avoid this kind of mix for two reasons: to clarify the
intend and anyway fix the !CONFIG_OF which will likely always if we use
this helper somewhere else. Let's just return NULL when no layout is
found, we don't need an error value here.
