4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <vz@xxxxxxxxx> commit c5857e3f94ab2719dfac649a146cb5dd6f21fcf3 upstream. The change fixes potential oops while accessing iomem on invalid address if devm_ioremap_resource() fails due to some reason. The devm_ioremap_resource() function returns ERR_PTR() and never returns NULL, which makes useless a following check for NULL.
