A sizable number of barebox NVMEM drivers returns a positive value of number of bytes read on success, while others return 0 unless an error occurred. When we used to check for errors with IS_ERR_VALUE, both cases worked, because it wouldn't evaluate to true for positive numbers. Now with IS_ERR_VALUE removed, we need to explicitly check for negative values to determinte errors. Otherwise nvmem_cell_read becomes a death trap that returns values like (void *)2, which IS_ERR() won't catch and best case kfree() will crash on.
