Subject: [PATCH] [parisc] superio: Add error handling for request_region in superio_init

This patch introduces error handling for the request_region call in the
superio_init function within drivers/parisc/superio.c. Prior to this patch,
the function did not handle the scenario where request_region might fail,
potentially leading to resource conflicts.

Although the error addressed by this patch may not occur in the current
environment, I still suggest implementing these error handling routines
if the function is not highly time-sensitive. As the environment evolves
or the code gets reused in different contexts, there's a possibility that
these errors might occur. Addressing them now can prevent potential
debugging efforts in the future, which could be quite resource-intensive.
