Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/1] net: pcs: xpcs: fix error handling on failed to allocate memory
Date:   Tue, 10 Aug 2021 16:58:12 +0800

Drivers such as sja1105 and stmmac that call xpcs_create() expects an
error returned by the pcs-xpcs module, but this was not the case on
failed to allocate memory.

Fixed this by returning an -ENOMEM instead of a NULL pointer.
