`comedi_8254_init()` and `comedi_8254_mm_init()` return `NULL` on failure, but the failure is not necessarily due to lack of memory. Change them to return an `ERR_PTR` value on failure and rename the functions to make it obvious the API has changed. `comedi_8254_init()` has been replaced with `comedi_8254_io_alloc()`, and `comedi_8254_mm_init()` has been replaced with `comedi_8254_mm_alloc()`.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
