But maybe the firmware guys like to know about it?
May I suggest putting this in front of the other check?

if ((mem.end - mem.start + 1) > sizeof(struct mpc52xx_fec)) {
  		printk(KERN_DEBUG DRIVER_NAME
			" - gratious resource size (%lx > %x), check mpc52xx_devices.c\n",
  			(unsigned long)(mem.end - mem.start + 1), sizeof(struct mpc52xx_fec));
}
