Commit Message

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
uclogic_input_configured() does not check for this case, which results in a
NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.

V1 -> V2: 
Simplify the handing of the condition "suffix" with if/else suggested by
Markus. 
The current implementation (directly returning -ENOMEM) is reasonable because:
1. pen_input is just a cached pointer - no resources are allocated
2. evbit modification is a software-only configuration (hardware-independent)
3. No critical state needs rollback on memory allocation failure

Do you propose to improve this function implementation a bit more?

* I imagine that there is a need to offer such adjustments
  in separate update steps.

* Can another tag become more helpful?

How much will such information influence the refinement of the change description?


How do you think about to append parentheses to a function name
also in the summary phrase?
