[PATCH] touchscreen: check kzalloc memory for data first

Hi Joonyoung Shim ,

            Can this patch be fixed in?


if kzalloc memroy for data was faild, it will multi free data
memory space. so check the data memory first, is it kzalloc faild
for data, it should goto end and do nothing.

fixed the code style


new patch is



if kzalloc memroy for data was faild, it will multi free data
memory space. so check the data memory first, is it kzalloc faild
for data, it should goto end and do nothing.

Hmm, I don't think this patch needs. If you see the codes, there is no
multi free data memory, just free data and input_dev. This both free
are no problem because when the pointer is NULL, no operation is
perfomed in the free function.

Thanks.

There is no double-free as both kfree() and input_free_device() know to
ignore NULL pointers and we ensure that both pointers to be initialized
(either point to allocated memory or be NULL). We do not expect either
of the memory allocations to fail so instead of handling failures
separately they are handled both at once.

Thanks.
