4.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 3360acdf839170b612f5b212539694c20e3f16d0 upstream.
Make sure to deregister and release the nvmem device and underlying
memory on registration errors.
Note that the private data must be freed using put_device() once the
struct device has been initialised.
Also note that there's a related reference leak in the deregistration
function as reported by Mika Westerberg which is being fixed separately.
Fixes: b6c217ab9be6 ("nvmem: Add backwards compatibility support for older EEPROM drivers.")
Fixes: eace75cfdcf7 ("nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for nvmem providers")
