Ensure we don't end up with a null pointer dereferences by checking
for for allocation failures. Allocate by sizeof(*ptr) rather than
the type to fix checkpack warnings. Also merge multiple lines into
one line for the kmalloc call.

Add driver source and config for softMAC implementation of Cascoda's CA8210
IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver device. The driver mimics a common PHY-only
implementation despite the CA8210 being a hardMAC device which exposes a SAP
interface to the fully integrated MAC.
The chip is a modem-only device with an integrated processor which runs the
802.15.4 MAC. The chip communicates via full-duplex SPI with additional pins
for NIRQ and NRESET. The chip can also output its 16MHz clock to a GPIO with a
configurable divider.
The driver can be configured to implement a debugfs node that provides access
to the SAP-based API to drive mechanisms not currently supported by the
standard kernel interface.
