Subject: [PATCH] ARM: STi: at least warn if of_iomap fails

The call to of_iomap() is unchecked but scu_enable(), which the returned
address is passed on to, assumes a valid mapping. If the mapping is
invalid this could probably lead to undefined system state so at least
a warning should be issued.

Fixes: commit 65ebcc115889 ("ARM: sti: Add STiH415 SOC support")

Patch was compile tested with: multi_v7_defconfig (implies
CONFIG_ARCH_STI=y, CONFIG_SMP=y)
