[PATCH][V2][next] rtc: ds1307: check for failed memory allocation on wdt

From: Colin King
Date: Thu Apr 02 2020 - 09:54:31 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently a failed memory allocation will lead to a null pointer
dereference on point wdt. Fix this by checking for a failed allocation
and adding error return handling to function ds1307_wdt_register.
Also move the error exit label "exit" to allow a return statement to
be removed.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: fd90d48db037 ("rtc: ds1307: add support for watchdog timer on ds1388")

V2: move error exit label and remove a return statement, thanks to
Walter Harms for spotting this clean up.
