I'm sticking to the style and use as with pci_ioremap_bar(). Whatever we pick
we should make both use the same. More information is always better and
since we do have dev_warn(), it would be nice to use that however within
its use on both pci_ioremap_wc_bar() and pci_ioremap_bar() we have
a use of the pdev with pci_resource_flags() and I believe if pdev is NULL
we'd get a NULL dereference (dev_driver_string() is used), so it would
seem it might be best to stick with a simple WARN_ON(). Arjan, any
preference? Obviously if pdev is NULL your driver is dumb but as folks
develop drivers this should be expected.
