This looks OK

I would use an else here, 'exit on success' is considered an
anti-pattern.

Eg:

if (cmd_pa == rsp_pa) {
	/* According to the PTP specification, overlapping command and response
	 * buffer sizes must be identical.
	 */
	if (cmd_size != rsp_size) {
		dev_err(dev, FW_BUG "overlapping command and response buffer sizes are not identical");
		return -EINVAL;
	}
	priv->rsp = priv->cmd;
}
else {
	priv->rsp = crb_map_res(dev, priv, &io_res, rsp_pa, rsp_size);
        if (IS_ERR(priv->rsp))
	   	return PTR_ERR(priv->rsp);
}

return 0;
