Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: fix nvmem_cell_get_from_lookup()

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

We check if the pointer returned by __nvmem_device_get() is not NULL
while we should actually check if it is not IS_ERR(nvmem). Fix it.

While we're at it: fix the next error path where we should assign an
error value to cell before returning.
