Fix missing 'kfree_const(cell->name)' when call to
nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell() in several places:
* after nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell() failed during
nvmem_add_cells()
* during nvmem_device_cell_{read,write}. This is fixed by simply
re-using info->name instead of duplicating it:
cell->name = info->name
Because cell->name is not used except for error message printing in case
of un-aligned access, the new __nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell() helper
was introduced.
Fixes: e2a5402ec7c6 ("nvmem: Add nvmem_device based consumer apis.")

v2:
* remove not needed 'kfree_const(cell->name)' after nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell()
failed.

But what about nvmem_device_cell_{read,write} case ?
In my understanding the cell is allocated on the stack but kstrdup() is
not freed in the end, or I missed something ?

You are right!
That is the second issue where the caller outside would fail after
successful call to nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell() .
Probably we cam free it in failure cases!

But is it really needed to kstrdup(cell->name) for nvmem_device_cell_{read,write} ?
It is used only for log error in case the unaligned access did not
pass the check.

This boils down to if we want to use same api to parse nvmem_cell_info
or not!
If we want to keep this simple, we can either explicitly add free for
successful caller to nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell()!
Or
use something like what you did, but new api needs more clarity!
May be renaming __nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell to
nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell_no_alloc would clarify that a bit!
Also can you make sure that linewrapping on function names be inline
with existing code.
Please send v3 with that changes!

I think that such additional kfree_const(cell->name) handling adds more
complexity for error handling, also to my understanding usually
resource allocation should be done in the called func in case of error
was returned.

Yes, I agree that naming should be better, actually "__" already points
to it's unsafety (no kstrdup() is used), but of course additional suffix
would be better.

You mean do not do such func attributes breaking as I did (moved them
line upper) ?

yes, for consistency reasons!

Naming is most difficult thing, what about __nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell_{unsafe,nodup}() ?
At least this is an indication to be carefully here.

nvmem_cell_info_to_nvmem_cell_nodup() should be good!
