From: "Gustavo A. R. Silva" <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit dd92d5ea20ef8a42be7aeda08c669c586c730451 ]

Check return values from call to devm_kzalloc() and devm_kmemup() in order to prevent a NULL pointer dereference.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

@@
expression x;
identifier fld;

* x = devm_kzalloc(...);
... when != x == NULL
x->fld
