[PATCH 5.10 08/76] HID: potential dereference of null pointer

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2021-12-27 15:42:03
Also in: lkml

From: Jiasheng Jiang <redacted>

commit 13251ce1dd9bb525da2becb9b26fdfb94ca58659 upstream.

The return value of devm_kzalloc() needs to be checked.
To avoid hdev->dev->driver_data to be null in case of the failure of
alloc.

Fixes: 14c9c014babe ("HID: add vivaldi HID driver")
