[PATCH v2] fbdev: platinumfb: add error checking for ioremap calls

[yuebingkun]

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.

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.
  https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v7.2-rc7/source/drivers/video/fbdev/platinumfb.c#L527-L634

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

That Fixes line ^^^ has no value, so I dropped it.

Would be nice to have your Name written out here, e.g. Yue Bing Kun (or something),
but I've left it as-is for now. In case you resend with full name, I can replace it
in the git tree.

Patch applied (with the Fixes line dropped).

Thanks!

This patch introduces a compiler warning for me:

  drivers/video/fbdev/platinumfb.c: In function 'platinumfb_probe':
  drivers/video/fbdev/platinumfb.c:650:1: warning: label 'err_unmap_regs' defined but not used [-Wunused-label]
    650 | err_unmap_regs:
        | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As far as I can tell, it is unnecessary, so maybe this could be folded
in? Otherwise, I can send a formal patch.
