Some users check the return value of devm_rtc_nvmem_register() only in
order to emit an error message and then continue probing. This is fine
as an rtc can function without exposing nvmem but let's generalize it:
let's make the registration function emit the error message so that
users don't have to.

rtc_nvmem_register() is a managed interface. It doesn't require any
release function to be called at driver detach. To avoid confusing
driver authors, let's rename it to devm_rtc_nvmem_register() and add it
to the list of managed interfaces in Documentation/.

The nvram sysfs attributes have been deprecated at least since v4.13, more
than 3 years ago and nobody ever complained about the deprecation warning.
Remove the sysfs attributes now.

In cas of probe failure, devres may free the memory allocated for
rtc->nvram before devm_rtc_release_device() is called. This leads to
rtc_nvram_unregister using it after being freed which may lead to a crash.
This has been shown to happen after commit 461e557b97 ("rtc: nvmem: use
devm_nvmem_register()")

Using devm_nvmem_register allows to avoid tracking the nvmem pointer in the
rtc_device structure.
This ultimately allows to register multiple nvmem devices from an RTC
driver.

nvmem_register() never returns NULL, so IS_ERR is good enough here.

Export rtc_nvmem_register() so it can be called from drivers instead of
only the core.

Switch the parent of the nvmem device to the parent of the rtc device so it
can be registered before the RTC.
This is a small change in the ABI as the nvmem moves out of the
/sys/class/rtc/rtcX folder to be under the parent device folder (that is
where the previous nvram files where registered).
However, it is still available under its correct location,
/sys/bus/nvmem/devices which is the one that should be used by userspace
applications.
The other benefit is that the nvmem device can stay registered even if the
rtc registration fails. Or it is possible to not register the rtc if the
nvmem registration failed.
Finally, it makes a lot of sense for devices that actually have different
i2c or spi addresses for the RTC and the EEPROM. That is basically how it
would end up when using MFD or even completely separate devices.

Many RTCs have an on board non volatile storage. It can be battery backed
RAM or an EEPROM. Use the nvmem subsystem to export it to both userspace
and in-kernel consumers.
This stays compatible with the previous (non documented) ABI that was using
/sys/class/rtc/rtcx/device/nvram to export that memory. But will warn about
the deprecation.
