Here are few reasons:

1> TBH, This cleanup patch removes more than one feature from nvmem 
subsystem.
Ex: it remove ability to add static cell from nvmem config, secondly it 
removed ability to read/write cells directly using nvmem_cell_info.

2> If you do changes as part of each patch, it will be much traceable on 
what is changed exactly and will allow much better review, and 
understand the reasoning.

Having a clean start and writing code on top of it is alway nice, but we 
will definitely miss things in review in this particular instance.
