platform_get_resource() may fail and return NULL, so we should
better check it's return value to avoid a NULL pointer dereference

This is detected by Coccinelle semantic patch.

Change looks good to me, although the check could have been avoided if 
'devm_ioremap_resource' is used on the next line instead of 
'devm_ioremap_nocache', where validation of resource pointer is done.

But there's probably a reason why 'devm_ioremap_nocache' was used in 
this code here.
