Even if we leave the logic as is, this might be better

if (orient[0] == '-')
   str = devm_kstrdup(dev, orient + 1, GFP_KERNEL);
else if (orient[0] != '0' || orient[1] != '\0')
   str = devm_kasprintf(dev, GFP_KERNEL, "-%s", orient);
else
   str = devm_kstrdup(dev, orient, GFP_KERNEL);
if (!str)
   return -ENOMEM;
