This doesn't seem quite right. If pcim_iomap_table() fails, it
returns NULL. But then we assign "vaddr = NULL[vsec_data.rg.bar]"
which dereferences the NULL pointer even before your test.
This "pcim_iomap_table(dev)[n]" pattern is extremely common. There
are over 100 calls of pcim_iomap_table(), and
$ git grep "pcim_iomap_table(.*)\[.*\]" | wc -l
says about 75 of them are of this form, where we dereference the
result before testing it.
