A much better approach is:

	if (res) {
		void __iomem *csr = devm_ioremap_resources();
		if (IS_ERR(csr)) {
			ret = ERR_PTR(csr);
			dev_xxx();
			goto err;
		}

		ctx->csr_mux = csr;
	}

Then you never end up in the situation where csr_mux contains an error
pointer value - and is much more obvious that is the case.
