Hi Vladimir

I had not noticed you had removed this.

You don't have to use NVMEM, you could use the regmap directly. It is
a public API. Also, during implementation, i did manage to get out of
bounds read passed into the drivers and they caused a crash. That
might of been AT24, i don't remember, but verifying is better than
possible crashing.

As i've said a few times now to a few different people reviewing these
patches, regmap wants either an error code or 0.
