dev_set_name will alloc memory for nvmem->dev.kobj.name in nvmem_register, when nvmem_validate_keepouts failed, nvmem's memory will be freed and return, but nobody will free memory for nvmem->dev.kobj.name, there will be memleak, so moving nvmem_validate_keepouts() after device_register() and let the device core deal with cleaning name in error cases.

Hi Greg,
Here is a fix in nvmem core which can possibly go in next rc. Could you please pick this up.
I missed this for 6.0-final, but as it's only on a not-ever-hit error path, it can wait for 6.1-rc1.
thanks,
