Patch ("nvmem: change the signature of nvmem_unregister()") depends on
those three patches in the other series. We need to change them first
because they were still checking the return value of
nvmem_unregister(). And this patch results from the earlier kref
patch. I think that although this nvmem series is pretty big, it
contains mostly related changes and it will be hard to submit them
separately.
