Subject: [PATCH v3 10/21] nvmem: change the signature of nvmem_unregister()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@...libre.com>

We switched the nvmem framework to using kref instead of manually
checking the current number of users in nvmem_unregister() so this
function can no longer fail. We also converted all remaining users
that still checked the return value of nvmem_unregister() to using
devm_nvmem_register(). Make the routine return void.
