[PATCH] nvmem: meson-mx-efuse: check the return value of devm_kstrdup()

[PATCH] nvmem: meson-mx-efuse: check the return value of devm_kstrdup()

[xkernel.wang]

From: Xiaoke Wang <xkernel.wang@foxmail.com>

devm_kstrdup() returns pointer to allocated string on success,
NULL on failure. So it is better to check the return value of it.

Looking at other drivers and also at drivers/nvmem/core.c I believe
that the whole devm_kstrdup is unnecessary.
Instead I think the code can be simplified as:
    efuse->config.name = drvdata->name;

What do you think?


Best regards,
Martin
