[PATCH 5.0 113/238] nvmem: core: dont check the return value of notifier chain call

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

5.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit f4853e1c321edb48af229ad5ac85076790d34968 upstream.

blocking_notifier_call_chain() returns the value returned by the last
registered callback. A positive return value doesn't indicate an error
and an nvmem device should correctly register irrespective of any
notifier callback failures. Drop the retval check.
