Subject: ARM: mvebu: Fix kernel hang in mvebu_soc_id_init() when of_iomap failed
From: Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dc4910d9e93f8cc56b190dd8fc9e789135978216 upstream.
When pci_base is accessed whereas it has not been properly mapped by
of_iomap() the kernel hang. The check of this pointer made an improper
use of IS_ERR() instead of comparing to NULL. This patch fix this
issue.
