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.
