[PATCH 1/2] media: ir-kbd-i2c: prevent potential NULL pointer access

From: Wolfram Sang
Date: Mon Jul 22 2019 - 13:27:37 EST


i2c_new_dummy() can fail returning a NULL pointer. The code does not
bail out in this case and the returned pointer is blindly used. Convert
to devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() which returns an ERR_PTR and also bail
out when failing the validity check.
