Please note the applied patch doesn't comply with the Keith' notes

Meanwhile without patch #1 (having only the accepted by you patch
applied) the NVME hwmon init now seems contradicting: it ignores one
kmalloc failure (returns zero) but fails on another one (returns
-ENOMEM). I asked you to have a look at the patches #1 and #2 of the
series

and give your opinion whether the re-spin was required: take the
Keith' notes or keep the patches as is. Could you please clarify the
situation?
