Here needs a NULL check as kzalloc may fail returning NULL.
Issue was found by coccinelle.

v3->v4:
Added the information about coccinelle script.
Added change log.
Added Oliver's Reviewed-by.
v2->v3:
Removed redundant assignment to 'attr' and 'name'.
v1->v2:
Just return -ENOMEM if attr is NULL.

Thanks for putting up with all the review comments :)
But I think this should actually be two patches now.
The first patch should change the goto after
of_property_read_u64_array() into a return and drop the redundant
assignments.
Then the second patch can add the NULL check for attr.
