    gpio: merrifield: check the return value of devm_kstrdup() · c84eab58
    Xiaoke Wang authored
    devm_kstrdup() returns pointer to allocated string on success, NULL on
    failure. So it is better to check the return value of it.
    
    Before, if devm_kstrdup() fails, pinctrl_dev_name will be NULL, then the
    retval below will be a negative error-code (inside gpiochip_add_pin_range(),
    pinctrl_find_and_add_gpio_range()->get_pinctrl_dev_from_devname() will
    finally check pinctrl_dev_name and return an error), so the failure of
    devm_kstrdup() can be only implicitly caught after a long call chain.
    
    While this patch is to explicitly catch the failure in time.
