[PATCH] nvmem: fix nvmem_cell_read() return type for !CONFIG_NVMEM

[Brian Norris]

With CONFIG_NVMEM, nvmem_cell_read() returns void *. With !CONFIG_NVMEM
it returns char *. Let's make that consistent. Also drop the
incorrect/inconsistent comment about char * above the nvmem_cell_read()
definition.

drivers/thermal/mtk_thermal.c is already working around this by casting
to (u32 *).
