With my patch 1/14 you'll get -EPROBE_DEFER from nvmem_cell_get() if
the nvmem provider is not yet registered. Will that help in your case?

I don't think so. My driver instantiates the AT24 device. So if i get
-EPROBE_DEFER, i need to cleanup the probe, and return -EPROBDE_DEFER
to the code. Which means i need to remove the AT24 device...

Are you sure this is the correct approach? I understand that you want
to use something like board files for your machine? Wouldn't it be
better to register a platform device for at24, register a cell lookup
and then depend on that cell from your driver?

Would you mind describing your platform in detail a bit more?
