In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

pinctrl: nuvoton: npcm8xx: Add NULL check in npcm8xx_gpio_fw

devm_kasprintf() calls can return null pointers on failure.
But the return values were not checked in npcm8xx_gpio_fw().
Add NULL check in npcm8xx_gpio_fw(), to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference error.
