 NULL error from devm_ioremap

Hi David,

I did not tested this feature.  I have build it and flashed on hardware.
You can check below commit id. Which has similar check for ioremap.
1- Commit id - de9e397e40f56b9f34af4bf6a5bd7a75ea02456c
       In 'drivers/net/phy/mdio-octeon.c'

2- Commit id - 592569de4c247fe4f25db8369dc0c63860f9560b
       In 'drivers/gpio/gpio-octeon.c'

Thanks
Arvind
