This series addresses a couple problems with memory management in nvmem
core. We fix an earlier memory leak in error path in patch 2/6. Patches
1/6, 5/6 & 6/6 add reference counting to gpio_desc structure and use it
to correctly free the write-protect GPIO. Patches 3/6 & 4/6 fix newline
problems.

Bartosz Golaszewski (5):
gpiolib: use kref in gpio_desc
nvmem: fix memory leak in error path
nvmem: remove a stray newline in nvmem_register()
nvmem: add a newline for readability
nvmem: increase the reference count of a gpio passed over config

Khouloud Touil (1):
nvmem: release the write-protect pin
