devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure,but this
returned value in ads1298_init() is not checked.
Add NULL check in ads1298_init(), to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference error.

Another wording suggestion:
A devm_kasprintf() call can return a null pointer on failure.
But such a return value was not checked in this function implementation.
Thus add a corresponding check so that a null pointer dereference
will be avoided.
