There is a single kmalloc in this driver, and it's not currently
guarded against allocation failure. Do it here by just bailing-out
the reboot handler, in case this tentative allocation fails.

Hi,

even if mostly useless in this case, kmalloc_array()?

Or certainly maybe even better, kstrndup()?

  		wdata[l] = str[l];
