This is quite late in the probe, after a bunch of resources have been claimed.

Note that the ioremaps above this are doing unwinds, and you'll end up
doing duplicate ioremaps if you come in and probe again.

You should probably unwind those allocations, or move them to devm_*
or do this check earlier in the function.
