[PATCH v3] i2c: busses/i2c-pxa.c: fix potential null pointerdereference error

From: Cong Ding
Date: Thu Feb 14 2013 - 06:28:18 EST


If it goes to eclk through line 1107, the variable res would be NULL. It will
cause a null pointer dereference error if we call release_mem_region. The
correct way should be using devm_kzalloc rather than kzalloc to allocate
memory.
