This patch fixes several issues:
- if the 1st 'kzalloc' fails, we dereference a NULL pointer
- if the 2nd 'kzalloc' fails, there is a memory leak
- if 'sysfs_create_bin_file' fails there is also a memory leak
Then it should be multiple patches, not fixing 3 things in one patch,
right?

thanks,

I can split it if you want, but the 3 points are more or less related and all belong to the same few lines of code. I didn't think having 3 patches was needed in this case. I just wanted to give a detailed changelog.
If the commit message was only "This patch fixes memory allocation error handling in fct xxx' (as in the topic), I guess it would has been accepted (if it is correct of course) as-is.

Just tell me if you really prefer 3 patches, and I will resubmit.
