[PATCH] nvmem: sunxi: Check for memory allocation failure

From: Maxime Ripard
Date: Tue Aug 18 2015 - 12:47:15 EST


The sunxi_sid driver doesn't check for kmalloc return status before
derefencing the returned pointer, which could lead to a NULL pointer
dereference if kmalloc failed. Check for its return code to make sure it
deosn't happen.
