4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Johan Hovold <jo...@kernel.org>
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.
Fixes: fe14042358fa ("of/flattree: Refactor unflatten_device_tree and add
fdt_unflatten_tree")
