Subject: [PATCH v2] ASoc: PCM6240: Return directly after a failed devm_kzalloc() in pcmdevice_i2c_probe()

From: Hao Ge <gehao@...inos.cn>

The value “-ENOMEM” was assigned to the local variable “ret”
in one if branch after a devm_kzalloc() call failed at the beginning.
This error code will trigger then a pcmdevice_remove() call with a passed
null pointer so that an undesirable dereference will be performed.
Thus return the appropriate error code directly.

Fixes: 1324eafd37aa ("ASoc: PCM6240: Create PCM6240 Family driver code")
