From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
A null pointer deference on pdata can occur if the allocation of
pdata fails. Fix this by adding a null pointer check and handle
the -ENOMEM failure in the caller.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: 3ce85cc4fbb7 ("iio: st_sensors: get platform data from device tree")
