How do you think about to check if calls of the function “kasprintf” succeeded
here?
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.10.3/source/lib/kasprintf.c#L53
Will any more exception handling become relevant also for the implementation of
the function “regmap_debugfs_init”?

Thanks for your suggestion, I will modify the commit log and add another null
point check together with corresponding exception handling
