Subject: [PATCH 4.17 192/336] nvmem: properly handle returned value nvmem_reg_read

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mathieu Malaterre <malat@...ian.org>

[ Upstream commit 50808bfcc14b854775a9f1d0abe3dac2babcf5c3 ]

Function nvmem_reg_read can return a non zero value indicating an error.
This returned value must be read and error propagated to
nvmem_cell_prepare_write_buffer. Silence the following gcc warning (W=1):

drivers/nvmem/core.c:1093:9: warning: variable 'rc' set but
 not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]
