The return value of platform_get_resource() needs to be checked.
To avoid use of error pointer in case that there is no suitable resource.


How would that resource disappear since the probe function ?

That driver could use a lot of cleanup (use devm_request_region(),
use watchdog_stop_on_unregister(), stop using a static data structure,
use devm_add_action_or_reset to trigger the call to debugfs_remove,
use devm_watchdog_register_device and drop the remove function),
but this change addresses a non-existing problem.
