Subject: video: fbdev: au1200fb: Return an error code if a memory allocation fails

From: Christophe JAILLET <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 8cae353e6b01ac3f18097f631cdbceb5ff28c7f3 ]

'ret' is known to be 0 at this point.
In case of memory allocation error in 'framebuffer_alloc()', return -ENOMEM instead.
