In case devm_kzalloc fails, the fix does NULL check and returns
-ENOMEM upon failure so as to avoid NULL pointer dereference.

Hi Lee Jones,

Can you review this patch?

Thanks.

Don't poke.

I have a very long list of reviews on my TODO.  Poking only surfaces
your patch to the top of my Inbox, and since I review patches in
reverse chronological order, it puts the review to the back of the
queue.

Seems you are using quite old codebase.
This patch is already there ..
