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")

* 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?
