The kasprintf could return NULL though.

This makes more sense, I think maybe we can remove the imx_scu_revision macro,
just use below code instead, and return -ENOMEM if kasprintf returns NULL.

113         soc_dev_attr->revision = soc_rev ? kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL,
114                                                      "%d.%d",
115                                                      (soc_rev >> 4) & 0xf,
116                                                      soc_rev & 0xf) : 
"unknown";
117         if (!soc_dev_attr->revision)
118                 return -ENOMEM;

BTW, the soc-imx8.c looks like also having same issue, do you think we should 
fix it
as well?
