From db3546d58b5a0fa581d9c9f2bdc2856fa6c5e43e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Walle michael@walle.cc Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2023 10:40:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] nvmem: core: fix cell removal on error

nvmem_add_cells() could return an error after some cells are already added to the provider. In this case, the added cells are not removed. Remove any registered cells if nvmem_add_cells() fails.
