3.2.93-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johan Hovold <johan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 49e67dd17649b60b4d54966e18ec9c80198227f0 upstream. The memory allocator passed to __unflatten_device_tree() (e.g. a wrapped kzalloc) can fail so add the missing sanity check to avoid dereferencing a NULL pointer.
