Hi Laurent Pinchart,
Long time no see! Thank you for your comment.
I am not sure that I understand your question exactly.
I believe that all devm_kzalloc() error paths lead to
an OOM message being printed, because k.alloc and v.alloc
failures use dump_stack().

Joe Perches,
Would you add some comments on this?
If I am wrong, please let me know.

Best regards,
Jingoo Han
