Currently, of_nvmem_layout_get_container() returns NULL on error, or an error pointer if either CONFIG_NVMEM or CONFIG_OF is turned off. We should likely avoid this kind of mix for two reasons: to clarify the intend and anyway fix the !CONFIG_OF which will likely always if we use this helper somewhere else. Let's just return NULL when no layout is found, we don't need an error value here.

Backports to stable kernels is likely not needed as I believe the error pointer will be discarded "magically" by the of/ code. --- include/linux/nvmem-consumer.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
