Based on Dmitry Baryshkov earlier comment I am not sure if this is a safe fix.
(And I am not fully knowledgable about the memory lifecycle here)

If it is so that the device can disappear after put_device, is it then
safe to access a
pointer to that devices resource information when calling of_ioremap() ?
