Subject: [PATCH] microblaze: warn if of_iomap() failed

of_iomap() can return NULL. The function is void thus error propagation
is not possible but at least a WARN_ON() seems warranted here as a silent
failure might lead to a hard to understand system state.

Problem located with experimental coccinelle script

Probably this should be a BUG_ON() as this is such a low level fault that
continuing operations probably makes little sense.

Patch was compiletested with: mmu_defconfig (implies CONFIG_PCI_XILINX=y)

Patch is against 4.18-rc3 (localversion-next is next-20180709)
