Subject: [PATCH 0/3] nvmem: layouts: store owner from modules with
 nvmem_layout_driver_register()

Merging
=======
All further patches depend on the first patch.

Description
===========
Modules registering driver with nvmem_layout_driver_register() might
forget to set .owner field.

Solve the problem by moving this task away from the drivers to the core
code, just like we did for platform_driver in commit 9447057eaff8
("platform_device: use a macro instead of platform_driver_register").

Best regards,
Krzysztof
