Ah, my bad, I missed that comment.

It's probably not relevant as I'm not in charge of the devm
infrastructure, but I don't like it. There are 3 different possible
causes of failure for devm_request_and_ioremap, and the caller can't
tell which one happened. We have ERR_PTR for cases like this... OTOH I
guess the caller wouldn't behave differently based on the error code,
so it probably doesn't matter that much. So...

Wolfram, can you please pick this patch?
