Subject: [PATCH v4] soc: aspeed: Add NULL check in aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop()

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
aspeed_lpc_enable_snoop() does not check for this case, which results in a
NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.

Fixes: 3772e5da4454 ("soc: aspeed: Aspeed LPC snoop output using misc chardev")
Signed-off-by: Henry Martin <bsdhenrymartin@...il.com>
---
V3 -> V4: 
- Add proper cleanup when devm_kasprintf() fails
- Ensure kfifo and miscdevice get released on error
V2 -> V3: 
- Simplify the array access and correct commit message.
V1 -> V2: 
- Remove blank line between tags.
