Subject: [PATCH] clk: zynq: do not allow kmalloc failure
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2018 11:16:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1542795390-16221-1-git-send-email-hofrat@osadl.org> (raw)

 The kmalloc here is small (< 16 bytes) and occurs during initialization
during system startup here (can not be built as module) thus if this
kmalloc failed it is an indication of something more serious going on
and it is fine to hang the system here rather than cause some harder
to understand error by dereferencing NULL.

 Explicitly checking would not make that much sense here as the only
possible reaction would be would BUG() here anyway.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@osadl.org>

Problem located with experimental coccinelle script

Patch was compile tested with: multi_v7_defconfig (implies
CONFIG_ARCH_ZYNQ=y)

Patch is against 4.20-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20181121)
