We check if the pointer returned by __nvmem_device_get() is not NULL
while we should actually check if it is not IS_ERR(nvmem). Fix it.

While we're at it: fix the next error path where we should assign an
error value to cell before returning.

perhaps ERR_CAST() would better indicate the intent here?
