Subject: [ 143/262] DMA: PL330: Check the pointer returned by kzalloc

From: Greg KH <gregkh@...uxfoundation.org>

3.5-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Sachin Kamat <sachin.kamat@...aro.org>

commit 61c6e7531d3b66b33187b8cdd700fd8ab93ffd62 upstream.

kzalloc could return NULL. Hence add a check to avoid
NULL pointer dereference.
