devm_kcalloc() may fail. mt8365_afe_suspend() uses afe->reg_back_up
unconditionally after allocation and writes afe->reg_back_up[i], which
can lead to a NULL pointer dereference under low-memory conditions.

Add a NULL check and bail out with -ENOMEM, making sure to disable the
main clock via the existing error path to keep clock state balanced.

Nothing else can fail, so using a label here is unnecessary.

if (!afe->reg_back_up) {
mt8365_afe_disable_main_clk(afe);
return -ENOMEM;
}

This makes you able to avoid adding a `ret` variable, and also the goto.
