Nvmem subsystem keeps a global list of cells that, for non-DT systems,
can only be referenced by cell name, which makes it impossible to have
more than one nvmem device with cells named the same.
This patch makes every nvmem device the owner of the list of its cells.
This effectively removes the support for non-DT systems, but it will
be reintroduced following a different approach in subsequent patches.
This isn't a problem as support for board files in nvmem is currently
broken anyway: any user that would try to get an nvmem cell from the
global cell list would remove the cell after the calling
nvmem_cell_put(). This can cause anything from a subsequent user not
being able to get the cell to double free errors if more users hold
reference to the same cell at the same time.
Fortunately there are no such users which allows us to rework this part.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
