According to the kernel coding style the NULL check should not be
written as [variable] == NULL or [variable] != NULL.

Mentioning true or false in the if comparison is error prone and also
not according to the coding style.

Multiple blank lines are not recommended in the kernel coding style.

If kzalloc fails it will print lots of debugging information in the log,
no need to have another in the code.

split_arg_list() and audio_set_pcm_format() are being called from the
same file and is not referenced from outside, so make them as static.

sparse was complaining that an integer is used as NULL pointer. Fix it
by using NULL.

The Makefile is including "drivers/media/video". But there is no such
directory in kernel tree. Since it is aim-v4l2 this might have been
"drivers/media/v4l2-core", but the Kconfig already mentions that it
depends on VIDEO_V4L2. So no need to mention that again in the Makefile.

Yes, it is not in the CodingStyle file. But mostly it is the convention
that is followed. And in CodingStyle file if you see the "The rationale
for using gotos is:" section, you will see in the example function the
test is done like: if (!buffer).
Anyways, frankly speaking I know commit message is bad but I could not
think of anything else other than the one I wrote. Any ideas please...

Maybe something like:

Although not made explicit in Documentation/CodingStyle, there seems
to be a preference for writing NULL tests as 'if (!var)' rather than
if (var == NULL). The coding style does explicitly prefer brevity, so
convert all NULL checks to follow this shorter approach.

checkpatch complains when a variable comparison to NULL is written as:
variable == NULL or variable != NULL.
