Subject: [PATCH 3.13 13/46] media: cx18: check for allocation failure in cx18_read_eeprom()

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit e351bf25fa373a3de0be2141b962c5c3c27006a2 upstream.

It upsets static checkers when we don't check for allocation failure.  I
moved the memset() of "tv" earlier so we don't use uninitialized data on
error.
Fixes: 1d212cf0c2d8 ('[media] cx18: struct i2c_client is too big for stack')
