This is not equivalent. This means if ioremap() fails inside
devm_platform_ioremap_resource(), we end up printing a message that
blames the firmware, which is wrong.

It also changes a "resource missing, proceed anyway" situation into
a failure situation.

Please drop this change, "cleaning" this up is introducing bugs.

Thanks.
