[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/tc58128.c: Remove unnecessary check for g_malloc failure

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] hw/tc58128.c: Remove unnecessary check for g_malloc failure

[Peter Maydell]

Remove a check for g_malloc failing: this never happens.
Also use g_malloc rather than g_malloc0 as we immediately
memset the entire region and so zero-initialising it is pointless.
Spotted by Coverity (see bug 887883).
