[PATCH v8 2/8] nvmem: core: Return NULL when no nvmem layout is found

[Miquel Raynal <miquel.raynal@bootlin.com>]

Currently, of_nvmem_layout_get_container() returns NULL on error, or an
error pointer if either CONFIG_NVMEM or CONFIG_OF is turned off. We
should likely avoid this kind of mix for two reasons: to clarify the
intend and anyway fix the !CONFIG_OF which will likely always if we use
this helper somewhere else. Let's just return NULL when no layout is
found, we don't need an error value here.

Backports to stable kernels is likely not needed as I believe the error
pointer will be discarded "magically" by the of/ code.
