[PATCH v5 1/1] nvmem: Add support for write-only instances

[Nicholas Johnson]

There is at least one real-world use-case for write-only nvmem
instances. Refer to 03cd45d2e219 ("thunderbolt: Prevent crash if
non-active NVMem file is read").

Add support for write-only nvmem instances by adding attrs for 0200.

Change nvmem_register() to abort if NULL group is returned from
nvmem_sysfs_get_groups().

Return NULL from nvmem_sysfs_get_groups() in invalid cases.
