I've lost track if it was previously discussed, but did you propose this for
more general useage in nvmem-consumer.h

The first randomly selected file I opened with nvmem_cell_put() could
make use of this so I assume it is generally useful?

Why this change?  Just to avoid the need for ret?  
I'd keep it and reduce the noise in the patch.
