We need to remove the ida mapping when returning from nvmem_register()
with an error.

Looks like this is adding nvmem leak here.
May be something like this should help:


if (IS_ERR(nvmem->wp_gpio)) {
rval = ERR_CAST(nvmem->wp_gpio);
ida_simple_remove(&nvmem_ida, nvmem->id);
kfree(nvmem);
return rval;

}
