Subject: [PATCH] mtd: spear_smi: add NULL check on devm_kzalloc() return value

Check return value from call to devm_kzalloc()
in order to prevent a NULL pointer dereference.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

@@
expression x;
identifier fld;
@@

* x = devm_kzalloc(...);
  ... when != x == NULL
  x->fld
