No need to check for valid 'res' here...

... and no need to use 'devm_request_mem_region' ...

... because devm_ioremap_resource does all that for you. Also, don't
return -EIO but the PTR_ERR given from the function. Just check other
drivers how they do it.

Maybe you should make a error path with 'goto' out of it...

... since you forgot disable_unprepare here and could simply reuse it.

You forgot to cleanup the remove function.

BTW I forgot, can you test this patch on real hardware? If not, is there
somebody who does?

All the best,
