I like this patch and I think it's correct.  I'd like an ack from Zhou
and/or Gabriele, and I'd propose the following tweak, which just moves the
check earlier, before we start allocating this:


commit 0bd4137b946cab412d612ae155f3b268f2f0a856
Author: Shailendra Verma <shailendra.v@samsung.com>

    PCI: hisi: Check of_match_device() return value
    
    of_match_device() could return NULL, and so can cause a NULL pointer
    dereference later.  Check the result first, before we start setting up
    things that need to be undone if it fails.
