Usual style for referencing a commit is "(see 02bbde7849e6 ('Revert "of:
use platform_device_add"'))".

I think you meant platform_device_del()?  I don't think device_del() does
anything with resources.

Sounds like we should expect to see this message more in the future, after
you change of_platform_device_create_pdata() use platform_device_add().
You might want to use insert_resource_conflict() here so you can include
information about *why* we failed to claim the resource.  And it would be
nice to use %pR for both resources.

Might be nice to keep a comment here as a clue that the rest of the
function is the failure path.

It's a minor style thing, but I would also remove the "err_out" label and
return "ret" directly above rather than branching to "err_out".
