From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Currently a failed memory allocation will lead to a null pointer dereference on point wdt. Fix this by checking for a failed allocation and adding error return handling to function ds1307_wdt_register. Also move the error exit label "exit" to allow a return statement to be removed.
