Hi,
The first patch in this series fixes a potential NULL pointer
dereference by adding a NULL check. A tag for stable has been
added for this patch.
The second patch promotes the use of struct_size() in devm_kzalloc().
Both issues were detected with the help of Coccinelle.

There is a potential NULL pointer dereference in case devm_kzalloc()
fails and returns NULL.
Fix this by adding a NULL check on *lookup*
This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
struct boo entry[];
};
instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo), GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = devm_kzalloc(dev, struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.
