4.11-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <[email protected]>

commit 3360acdf839170b612f5b212539694c20e3f16d0 upstream.

Make sure to deregister and release the nvmem device and underlying
memory on registration errors.

Note that the private data must be freed using put_device() once the
struct device has been initialised.

Also note that there's a related reference leak in the deregistration
function as reported by Mika Westerberg which is being fixed separately.

Fixes: b6c217ab9be6 ("nvmem: Add backwards compatibility support for older 
EEPROM drivers.")
Fixes: eace75cfdcf7 ("nvmem: Add a simple NVMEM framework for nvmem providers")
