In linux-stable-5.15.13, this file has been removed and combined
to `drivers/ata/pata_platform.c` without this bug.
But in the older LTS kernels, like 5.10.90, this bug still exists.
As the possible failure of the devres_alloc(), the devm_ioremap() and
devm_ioport_map() may return NULL pointer.
And then, the 'base' and 'alt_base' are used in plat_ide_setup_ports().
Therefore, it should be better to add the check in order to avoid the
dereference of the NULL pointer.
Actually, it introduced the bug from commit 8cb1f567f4c0
("ide: Platform IDE driver") and we can know from the commit message
that it tended to be similar to the `drivers/ata/pata_platform.c`.
But actually, even the first time pata_platform was built,
commit a20c9e820864 ("[PATCH] ata: Generic platform_device libata driver"),
there was no the bug, as there was a check after the ioremap().
So possibly the bug was caused by ide itself.
