[PATCH] mips: sgi-ip22: add a check for the return of kzalloc()
From: xkernel . wang
Date: Fri Mar 25 2022 - 06:57:45 EST
From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@xxxxxxxxxxx>
kzalloc() is a memory allocation function which can return NULL when
some internal memory errors happen. So it is better to check it to
prevent potential wrong memory access.
