Maybe devm_request_and_ioremap_resource()?  Maybe it's a bit long but
A_to_B names are usually used for trivial conversions.

If we're already printing out dev_err(), I think we can live with
%NULL return on error.

So, for library functions, it's nice if the function doesn't hold any
extra resource on error return.  devres has grouping to support this.
You just need to wrap allocations inside a group and remove it on
success and release on error.  ie.

	if (!devres_open_group(dev, NULL, GFP_KERNEL))
		return NULL;
	if (alloc_resource(0) < 0)
		goto fail;
	if (alloc_resource(1) < 0)
		goto fail;
	devres_remove_group(dev, NULL);
	return 0;
fail:
	devres_release_group(dev, NULL);
	return 0;

Thanks.
