Yes, We are returning -ENOMEM, ret is initialized to -ENOMEM.
As per your concern, I have added dev_err failure message.

Thanks

Kernel can run into a NULL-pointer dereference.

I think return -ENOMEM right away won't hurt here. Also, dev_err()
explaining the failure would be nice to add.

Thanks!
