Betreff: [PATCH][next] rtc: ds1307: check for failed memory allocation on wdt

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

Currently a failed memory allocation will lead to a null pointer
dereference on point wdt.  Fix this by checking for a failed allocation
and adding error return handling to function ds1307_wdt_register.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return")
Fixes: fd90d48db037 ("rtc: ds1307: add support for watchdog timer on ds1388")

IMHO, one "return err;" is sufficient.
