devm_kasprintf() may return NULL on failure of internal allocation thus the assignments to attr.name are not safe if not checked. On error ad7280_attr_init() returns a negative return so -ENOMEM should be OK here (passed on as return value of the probe function). To make the error case more readable a temporary iio_attr is introduced and the code refactored.
