from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (3):
  Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation
  Improve a size determination
  Delete an unnecessary variable initialisation

Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

The local variable "fbdev" will be reassigned by a following statement.
Thus omit the explicit initialisation at the beginning.
