From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The current error handling on devm_kzalloc failures performs a non-null check on connector. Thss check is redundant because connector is null at that failure point. With this check removed, we may as well make the failure path into a trivial -ENOMEM return to clean up the error handling.
