Re: [PATCH] grvga: Fix error handling issues

From: Emil Goode <hidden>

This code is for the sparc architecture and the iounmap doesn't check
for NULL directly as in the x86 version. I think it is safer not to pass
NULL to the sparc version.

Thanks,

Emil

This patch fixes two problems with the error handling in the
grvga_probe function.

- If the call to grvga_parse_custom on line 370 fails we use
  the wrong label so that release_mem_region will be called
  without a call to request_mem_region being made.

- If the call to ioremap on line 436 fails we should not try
  to call iounmap. I added an if statement to check whether or
  not a call to iounmap should be made.
Doesn't iounmap() have a check for NULL?  On x86 it does.

	if ((void __force *)addr <= high_memory)
		return;
