[PATCH] lance: Return correct error code

From: Amitoj Kaur Chawla <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-17 13:35:27
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

The return value of kzalloc on failure should be -ENOMEM and
not -ENODEV.

Additionally, removed the following checkpatch warnings:
ERROR: spaces required around that '==' (ctx:VxV)
ERROR: space required before the open parenthesis '('
CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!lp"
