The ioremap() and ioremap_wt() calls in platinumfb_probe() were not
checked for failure. If any of these mappings fail, the driver would
dereference NULL pointers, leading to a kernel panic.
Add proper error checking and use goto-based cleanup to avoid code
duplication across the error paths.
Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

fbdev: platinumfb: add error checking for ioremap calls
This commit adds error checking for ioremap() and ioremap_wt() calls in
platinumfb_probe(), avoiding NULL pointer dereferences by introducing
goto-based cleanup paths on failure.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but I noticed the return value of
request_mem_region() is ignored just before the ioremap() call.
If request_mem_region() fails because the physical resource is already
claimed by platform code or another driver, probe continues. If a subsequent
step then fails, such as ioremap() returning NULL or platinum_init_fb()
failing, this newly added error path branches to err_release_cmap.
Since err_release_cmap unconditionally calls release_mem_region(), does this
risk freeing a resource that wasn't actually acquired? If the region size
and start address exactly match an existing claim, this could unlink and
free a resource owned by another driver, potentially causing a
use-after-free later.
Could we add a check for the return value of request_mem_region() so we
only release it if the driver successfully claimed it?

* Please avoid duplicate source code also in the implementation of the function “platinumfb_probe”
a bit more.

* Under which circumstances will development interests grow for the application of scope-based resource management?
