[PATCH] clk: davinci: check for devm_kasprintf() failure

[PATCH] clk: davinci: check for devm_kasprintf() failure

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

devm_kasprintf() may return NULL on failure of internal allocation thus
the assignment to  lpsc->pm_domain.name  is not safe if not checked. On 
error davinci_lpsc_clk_register() returns a pointer to davinci_lpsc_clk
which is checked with IS_ERR() so returning ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) should be 
fine here.

Fixes: c6ed4d734bc7 ("clk: davinci: New driver for davinci PSC clocks")

Problem located with experimental coccinelle script

Patch was compile tested with: davinci_all_defconfig

Patch is against 4.20-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20181123)

There are a bunch of other allocation issues with this driver so I'd
rather not expend the effort to review the one coccinelle script fix
here and instead I'd like to see the whole fix to this driver. Please
add proper lifetime management for all the allocations in this code.
