[PATCH] extcon: realtek: fix NULL deref check in extcon_rtk_type_c_probe

[Charles Han]

In extcon_rtk_type_c_probe() devm_kzalloc() may return NULL but this
returned value is not checked.

Another wording suggestion:
A devm_kzalloc() call can return a null pointer on failure.
But such a return value was not checked in this function implementation.
Thus add a corresponding check so that a null pointer dereference
will be avoided.


Would a summary phrase like “Prevent null pointer dereference in extcon_rtk_type_c_probe()”
be a bit nicer?

Markus
