Hi Christophe,

If 'devm_kzalloc' fails, a NULL pointer will be dereferenced.
Return -ENOMEM instead, as done for the other memory allocation just a

This looks fine.

BTW, change the 'devm_kzalloc' into a 'devm_kcalloc'.
Any reason for the devm_kcalloc change?  It looks like the next for loop
does set all of the group_name values.

-Stafford
The semantic of kcalloc is better than kzalloc here because we allocate an array.
It also checks if "func->num_group_names * sizeof(char *)" is not too big.

I agree that zerroing memory could probably be avoided here.

I can send a V2 without the (not that useful) change for kcalloc, or with a 'devm_kmalloc_array' if you prefer.
