When I meant leaking here, not just memory but other resources like idr 
and gpio.

You should do something like this:

if (!nvmem->dev.groups) {
	ida_simple_remove(&nvmem_ida, nvmem->id);
	gpiod_put(nvmem->wp_gpio);
	kfree(nvmem);
	return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
}

unnecessary cleanup here!

Other than that every thing looks good to me!
