Thank you for your answer. But I haven't run it yet.
And in fact I don't know how to trigger the alloc failure.
I just find the other place like eni_init_one() in `drivers/atm/eni.c`
check the return value of the dma_alloc_coherent().
So that's possible to alloc failure.
Therefore, in order to avoid the dereference of the null pointer, it might
be better to deal with it.

Sincerely thanks,
