NOTE: I decided to post v4 despite no new reviews from Srinivas as I'll
be off next week. There were a couple issues reported by the kbuild bot
and one bug I noticed after sending v3.

This series contains nvmem framework changes prerequisite for further
development of my previous series[1] that aims at removal of the
platform data struct from at24 EEPROM driver.

The patches are conceptually split into a couple groups.

First five patches fix issues with existing issues.

Patch 6 switches the nvmem providers to using kref which is necessary
for removal of the return value from nvmem_unregister(). This is an
approach similar to the one used in the clock framework where the
provider is only removed after the last reference to it is dropped.

Patch 7 changes the errno returned from the driver after kzalloc()
fails from -EINVAL to -ENOMEM which makes more sense.

Patches 8-10 convert last remaining users of nvmem_unregister() who
still check its return value to using devm_nvmem_unregister() and
patch 11 changes its return value from int to void.

Patches 12-15 introduce the most significant changes of this series:
we remove the global cell list, add support for static cell definitions
external to the provider structure, change the way DT lookup works and
allow to associate resources and consumers using lookup tables. The way
nvmem_cell_get() for non-DT users is changed but there are no current
users and it's currently broken anyway (cell being removed after a call
to nvmem_cell_put()).

Patch 16 updates the documentation.

Patch 17 adds support for notifiers to nvmem so that users can
subscribe for events such as device or cell registration or removal.

Patches 18 & 19 add some minor improvements to the codebase.

Last three patches contain fixes to warnings emitted by checkpatch.
It's a good moment to add them if we're already touching a big part
of the subsystem's code.

Tested both DT and non-DT use cases.

v1 -> v2:
- extended the lookup structure with a proper con_id independent from the
  cell name defined in the cell definition table
- added a patch that makes the naming convention for the cell name argument
  in the nvmem_cell_get() family of functions consistent
- there were two users of nvmem_unregister() that still checked the return
  value, now switched to devm_nvmem_register()
- fixed build failures reported by kbuild test robot

v2 -> v3:
- dropped the patch removing unused APIs and introduced changes on top of
  existing code instead
- fixed nvmem provider reference decreasing in error paths
- added checkpatch fixes
- removed nvmem-machine.h and distributed new definitions among existing
  consumer and provider headers
- reordered patches thematically
- added more patches fixing issues in existing codebase

v3 -> v4:
- fixed the notifier chain call when removing nvmem devices: call the
  notifier chain for NVMEM_REMOVE before releasing any resources
- added patch 7/22 ("sunxi_sid: return -ENOMEM if kzalloc() fails")
- fixed the return value in error path for patch 8/22 ("sunxi_sid: use
  devm_nvmem_register())"
- fixed the return value of devm_nvmem_unregister() in
  patch 11/22 ("change the signature of nvmem_unregister()")
