Yes, it's problem.

I will correct it to "return NULL;".

As omap_get_timer_dt() is called in early time during booting up kernel, 
that allocating a little size of memory should

always be alright. Return NULL just in case that it fails.

Correct "return -ENOMEM" to "return NULL;" in case that it fails to 
allocate a new memory block.
