Subject: [PATCH 3.16 043/305] media: pci: cx23885: handle adding to list
 failure

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@...dl.org>

commit c5d59528e24ad22500347b199d52b9368e686a42 upstream.

altera_hw_filt_init() which calls append_internal() assumes
that the node was successfully linked in while in fact it can
silently fail. So the call-site needs to set return to -ENOMEM
on append_internal() returning NULL and exit through the err path.

Fixes: 349bcf02e361 ("[media] Altera FPGA based CI driver module")
