Not sure why you think devm_ioremap() can't be used here. Maybe I'm
missing something, but could you explain? If you use devm_ioremap(),
then basically you don't need to do anything in the error path
regarding to the I/O mapping... since it's the whole purpose of the
devm_*() stuff to automagically undo things in the error case, and in
the ->remove() code.

I think you can do a devm_ioremap() and a platform_get_irq() in both
cases here, and therefore keep the code common between the DT case and
the !DT case.

Thanks,
