The kasprintf could return NULL though.

This makes more sense, I think maybe we can remove the imx_scu_revision macro,
just use below code instead, and return -ENOMEM if kasprintf returns NULL.
113 soc_dev_attr->revision = soc_rev ? kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL,
114 "%d.%d",
115 (soc_rev >> 4) & 0xf,
116 soc_rev & 0xf) :
"unknown";
117 if (!soc_dev_attr->revision)
118 return -ENOMEM;
BTW, the soc-imx8.c looks like also having same issue, do you think we should
fix it
as well?
