[PATCH 4/8] powerpc/nvram: Return directly after a failed parameter validation in dev_nvram_read()

[SF Markus Elfring]

From: Markus Elfring <elfring at users.sourceforge.net>
Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2017 16:12:48 +0100

* Return directly after an inappropriate input parameter was detected.

* Delete an initialisation for the variable "tmp" at the beginning
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
