[PATCH] mfd: core: Fix possible ZERO_SIZE_PTR pointer dereferencing error.

From: Xiubo Li
Date: Thu Sep 18 2014 - 04:22:05 EST


Since we cannot make sure the 'cell->num_resources' will always be none
zero here, and then if either equal to zero, the kzalloc() will return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which equals to ((void *)16).

So this patch fix this with just doing the zero check before calling
kzalloc().
