Subject: [PATCH] clk: microchip: check for null return of devm_kzalloc()

Because of the possilble failure of devm_kzalloc(), name might be NULL and
will cause null pointer derefrence later.

Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM.

In theory, yeah?

I agree with your use of might here. If the allocations do fail, we
likely aren't getting the system off the ground anyway - but there is
no harm in checking.

@Claudiu, supposedly I can push to the at91 repo now so I will try to do
that.

Thanks,
Conor.

Applied to clk-microchip-fixes with these adjustments, thanks!
