[PATCH] misc: tps6594-pfsm: Add NULL pointer check in tps6594_pfsm_probe()
From: Chenyuan Yang
Date: Mon Mar 10 2025 - 21:05:23 EST
The returned value, pfsm->miscdev.name, from devm_kasprintf()
could be NULL.
A pointer check is added to prevent potential NULL pointer dereference.
This is similar to the fix in commit 3027e7b15b02
("ice: Fix some null pointer dereference issues in ice_ptp.c").
This issue is found by our static analysis tool.
