Even in init the allocation can fail and thus should at least warn so that the cause can be identified. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@osadl.org> --- Problem located with an experimental coccinelle script Note sure if there is a better solution as this is early in the boot process so not that could be done anyway but fuss - anyway unchecked allocation is not a good thing. Patch was compile-tested with: imx_v4_v5_defconfig (implies CONFIG_MACH_MX27ADS=y) (with some unrelated sparse warnings about unimplemented syscalls and a few checkpatch warnings - covered in the other patches) Patch is against 5.1-rc4 (localversion-next is 20190412) arch/arm/mach-imx/mach-mx27ads.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
