[U-Boot-Users] malloc with no return check?

I noticed the au1xxx ethernet driver has a malloc where the return
value isn't checked.
I did some more looking while waiting for a slow flash programmer and at least
these files seem to do the same thing:

./drivers/ns8382x.c
./drivers/bcm570x.c
./drivers/rtl8139.c
./drivers/eepro100.c
./drivers/dc2114x.c
./drivers/e1000.c
./drivers/sk98lin/skge.c
./drivers/cfb_console.c
./drivers/natsemi.c
./drivers/inca-ip_sw.c
./drivers/rtl8169.c
./drivers/pcnet.c
./cpu/mips/au1x00_eth.c
./cpu/ppc4xx/serial.c
./cpu/ppc4xx/405gp_enet.c
./cpu/ppc4xx/440gx_enet.c
./cpu/i386/serial.c
./cpu/mpc8xx/scc.c
./common/hush.c
./cpu/mpc8xx/spi.c     ?maybe
./cpu/mpc8260/spi.c    ?maybe
./cpu/mpc85xx/ether_fcc.c
./cpu/mpc8260/ether_fcc.c
./cpu/mpc5xxx/fec.c
./cpu/mpc8220/fec.c
./tools/easylogo/easylogo.c

I didn't look under the board directory or check all varieties of alloc :-)  
I will submit patches for the mips stuff hopefully next week.
