[PATCH 1/2] gpio: mt7621: report failure of devm_kasprintf()

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <hidden>
Date: 2018-11-22 16:39:44
Also in: linux-gpio, linux-mediatek, lkml

kasprintf() may return NULL on failure of internal allocation thus the
assigned  label  is not safe if not explicitly checked. On error
mediatek_gpio_bank_probe() returns negative values so -ENOMEM in the
(unlikely) failure case should be fine here.

Fixes: 4ba9c3afda41 ("gpio: mt7621: Add a driver for MT7621")

V2: The dev_err() for the unlikely case of the devm_kasprintf()
    failing was removed on request from Bartosz Golaszewski
    [off-list ref]

Problem located with experimental coccinelle script

Patch was compile tested with: omega2p_defconfig, SOC_MT7621=y,
GPIOLIB=y, GPIO_MT7621=y

Patch is against 4.20-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20181121)
