Subject: [PATCH 4.9 32/36] video: hgafb: fix potential NULL pointer dereference

From: Igor Matheus Andrade Torrente <igormtorrente@...il.com>

commit dc13cac4862cc68ec74348a80b6942532b7735fa upstream.

The return of ioremap if not checked, and can lead to a NULL to be
assigned to hga_vram. Potentially leading to a NULL pointer
dereference.

The fix adds code to deal with this case in the error label and
changes how the hgafb_probe handles the return of hga_card_detect.
