Fine, I have already sent the patch for icm_handle_event() independently.

As for icm_icl_set_uuid(), I think the check for kmemdup() is needed.
Because users need to know that icm_start() fails, or they will be puzzled
why the uuid is unsetted.
So at least it is a cleanup.
if so, I would like to send patch for icm_icl_set_uuid() without fixes tag.
