From: Markus Elfring <elfring@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Sep 2016 21:30:27 +0200 The kfree() function was called in up to two cases by the cpg_mstp_clocks_init() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. * Split a condition check for memory allocation failures so that each pointer from these function calls will be checked immediately. See also background information: Topic "CWE-754: Improper check for unusual or exceptional conditions" Link: https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/754.html * Return directly after a call of the function "kzalloc" failed at the beginning.
