Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Remove nvmem deadcode

From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@...blig.org>

Hi,
  This series removes some uncalled deadcode in nvmem.
The third patch probably deserves a bit closer inspection.

The first one removes nvmem_device_cell_read/write functions
that haven't been used in ~10 years.

The second removes nvmem_add/del_cell_table - again this is
removing uncalled functions; nvmem_add_cell_table is unused
after the removal of the Davinci machines.

The third one removes the remaining nvmem_cell_table code - including
a function that's called ( nvmem_add_cells_from_table ) - but
my reading is that from the previous patch there's no way for this
function to do anything active any more since the list it walks is
empty.

Build tested only.
