[PATCH] gpio: mt7621: handle failure of devm_kasprintf()

From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hidden>
Date: 2018-11-21 16:43:03
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-gpio, lkml
Subsystem: gpio subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Linus Walleij, Bartosz Golaszewski, Linus Torvalds

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.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <redacted>
Fixes: 4ba9c3afda41 ("gpio: mt7621: Add a driver for MT7621")

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)
