Subject: mmc: dw_mmc-pltfm: fix the potential NULL pointer dereference

From: Jaehoon Chung <jh80.chung@samsung.com>

commit 45c7a4908a307a023e237a64a3eadcafc4836493 upstream.

platform_get_resource can be returned the NULL pointer.
Then regs->start should be referred to NULL Pointer.
devm_ioremap_resource() checks whether res is NULL or not.
