You shouldn't need that define now

This wants to happen after the request_region - if the region is busy
then you know your device isn't present but that the addresses in
question are currently in use so you shouldn't touch them
We tend to use pr_err()/pr_debug() etc now rather than printk(KERN_ERR
"Oops"); to be less long winded - but the code you have there isn't wrong
in using printk().
With the tests re-ordered this looks fairly sound to me
