Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] nvmem: increase the reference count of a gpio passed over config

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

We can obtain the write-protect GPIO in nvmem_register() by requesting
it ourselves or by storing the gpio_desc passed in nvmem_config. In the
latter case we need to increase the reference count so that it gets
freed correctly.
