Subject: [PATCH 4/4] nvmem: sunxi: Check for memory allocation failure

From: Maxime Ripard <maxime.ripard@...e-electrons.com>

The sunxi_sid driver doesn't check for kmalloc return status before
derefencing the returned pointer, which could lead to a NULL pointer
dereference if kmalloc failed. Check for its return code to make sure it
deosn't happen.
