z is unusual name for an iterator.  Does it stand for something?  Just
use "int i;".

What does "a" mean in this context?  Maybe just say "void **tmp;"

You can simplify the math a bit:

	tmp = kzalloc(EFUSE_MAX_SECTION_88E * (sizeof(void *) + EFUSE_MAX_WORD_UNIT * sizeof(u16)), GFP_KERNEL);

Then if it fails:

	if (!tmp)
		goto eFuseWord_failed;
