[PATCH][next] iio: st_sensors: handle memory allocation failure to fix null pointer dereference

From: Colin King
Date: Tue Jan 21 2020 - 11:18:04 EST


From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

A null pointer deference on pdata can occur if the allocation of
pdata fails. Fix this by adding a null pointer check and handle
the -ENOMEM failure in the caller.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 3ce85cc4fbb7 ("iio: st_sensors: get platform data from device tree")
