  counter: fix an IS_ERR() vs NULL bug (2022-01-26 19:40:33 +0100)

Char/Misc driver fixes for 5.17-rc2

Here are two small char/misc driver fixes for 5.17-rc2 that fix some
reported issues.  They include:
	- fix up a merge issue in the at25.c driver that ended up
	  dropping some lines in the driver.  The removed lines ended
	  being needed, so this restores it and the driver works again.
	- counter core fix where the wrong error was being returned,
	  NULL should be the correct error for when memory is gone here,
	  like the kmalloc() core does.

Both of these have been in linux-next this week with no reported issues.
