Subject: [PATCH V2 4/5] nvmem: u-boot-env: improve coding style

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

1. Prefer kzalloc() over kcalloc()
   See memory-allocation.rst which says: "to be on the safe side it's
   best to use routines that set memory to zero, like kzalloc()"
2. Drop dev_err() for u_boot_env_add_cells() fail
   It can fail only on -ENOMEM. We don't want to print error then.
3. Add extra "crc32_addr" variable
   It makes code reading header's crc32 easier to understand / review.
