This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
nvmem: core: fix error handling while validating keepout regions
to my char-misc git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/char-misc.git
in the char-misc-testing branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will be merged to the char-misc-next branch sometime soon,
after it passes testing, and the merge window is open.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: nvmem: core: fix error handling while validating keepout regions
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.
