[PATCH 4.9 061/222] nvmem: core: return error code instead of NULL from nvmem_device_get

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ca6ac25cecf0e740d7cc8e03e0ebbf8acbeca3df ]

nvmem_device_get() should return ERR_PTR() on error or valid pointer
on success, but one of the code path seems to return NULL, so fix it.
