[PATCH] nvmem: core: WARN_ONCE on nvmem reg_read/write() returning positive values

[Joy Chakraborty]

Nvmem core currently expects 0 to be returned on successful read/write
and negative for failure from nvmem producers.
Warn incase any nvmem producer returns positive values which might
happen if any producer ends up returning the number of bytes read or
written.
