Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: nuvoton: check for devm_kasprintf() failure

devm_kasprintf() may return NULL on failure of internal allocation thus
the assignment to  .label  is not safe if not checked. On error
npcm7xx_gpio_of() returns negative values so -ENOMEM in the
(unlikely) failure case of devm_kasprintf() should be fine here.

Problem located with experimental coccinelle script

The only call-site is the probe function (npcm7xx_pinctrl_probe()) wich
will bail out on error - it seems like no further cleanup is expected.

Also while the code generally uses the  if (!var)  construct that would
not be very readable in this case so I think the:
     if (pctrl->gpio_bank[id].gc.label == NULL)
is more appropriate here not sure though what the general preference is.

Patch was compile tested with: multi_v7_defconfig + ARCH_NPCM=y,
ARCH_NPCM7XX=y (implies PINCTRL_NPCM7XX=y)
(sparse reports a number of "obsolete array initializer" warnings)

Patch is against 4.20-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20181123)
