nvmem_register() currently registers the device before adding the nvmem
cells, which creates a race window where consumers may find the nvmem
device (and not get PROBE_DEFERred), but then fail to find the cells and
error out.
Move device registration to the end of nvmem_register(), to close the
race.
Observed when the stars line up on Apple Silicon machines with the (not
yet upstream, but trivial) spmi nvmem driver and the macsmc-rtc client:
[ 0.487375] macsmc-rtc macsmc-rtc: error -ENOENT: Failed to get rtc_offset NVMEM cell

Why was gpiod changes added to this patch, that should be a separate
patch/discussion, as this is not relevant to the issue that you are
reporting.
