[PATCH] staging: iio: adc: ad7280a: check for devm_kasprint() failure

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

devm_kasprintf() may return NULL on failure of internal allocation thus
the assignments to  attr.name  are not safe if not checked. On error
ad7280_attr_init() returns a negative return so -ENOMEM should be
OK here (passed on as return value of the probe function).

Fixes: 2051f25d2a26 ("iio: adc: New driver for AD7280A Lithium Ion Battery Monitoring System2")
---

Problem located with an experimental coccinelle script

As using   if(!st->iio_attr[cnt].dev_attr.attr.name)  seamed quite
unreadable in this case the  (var  == NULL)  variant was used. Not
sure if there are objections against this (checkpatch.pl issues
a CHECK on this).

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig + STAGING=y
SPI=y, IIO=y, AD7280=m

Patch is against 4.20-rc4 (localversion-next is next-20181126)
