A few update suggestions were taken into account
from static source code analysis.

Markus Elfring (3):
  Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation
  Improve a size determination
  Delete a jump target

Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

[PATCH 2/3] [media] mb86a20s: Improve a size determination in mb86a20s_attach()

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

[PATCH 3/3] [media] mb86a20s: Delete a jump target in mb86a20s_attach()

* Return directly after a call of the function "kzalloc" failed
  at the beginning.

* Move a bit of exception handling code into an if branch.

* Adjust a condition check.

* Delete the jump target "error" which became unnecessary
  with this refactoring.
