Subject: [PATCH 1/1] power: check return value of devm_kzalloc

Function devm_kzalloc() will return a NULL pointer if there is no enough
memory. However, in function isp1704_charger_probe(), the return value
of devm_kzalloc() is used without validation. This may result in a bad
memory access bug. This patch fixes the bug.

What about calling "goto fail0", so there will be error message about
failure of registering isp1704 like for any other failures?
