[PATCH 5.6 155/166] iio: st_sensors: handle memory allocation failure to fix null pointer dereference

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

commit 9960c70949d4356abed8747a20637e0946bb0bad upstream.

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")
