This patch does below:
- Removes kfree done on data allocated with devm_zalloc in probe
  path of the driver.
- Adds a check on return value from devm_kzalloc which was missing
  and renames a lable from err_free_mem to err_mem.
- Adds couple of dev_err on failure to allocate memory

OOM message is not needed as memory subsystem will take care of it.

In the worst case, the memory subsystem will print that a process was 
killed for this allocation to succeed so it's never actually going to 
fail.  However, it is indeed frowed upon to print your own oom message so 
you're right that it should be removed.

Same comment about soc_button_pnp_probe().
