I disagree. devm_ioremap_resource() interprets the NULL resource as
a bad parameter and returns -EINVAL which is then forwarded as the
return value from the probe.

-ENODEV is the correct return value from the probe if the expected
resource is not available (either because it doesn't exist or was already
claimed by another driver).
