This patch appears to be masking an underlying issue. How about 
something like the following ...

Cheers

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP2+: Allow kernel to boot even if GPMC fails to
 reserve memory

Currently, if the GPMC driver fails to reserve memory when probed we will
call BUG() and the kernel will not boot. Instead of calling BUG(), return
an error from probe and allow kernel to boot.

Tested on AM335x beagle bone board.
