[PATCH v2] video: fbdev: Check for null res pointer

The return value of platform_get_resource() needs to be checked.
To avoid use of error pointer in case that there is no suitable resource.

Thanks for your patch!

That can't be the real introducer of the "bug"...

This cannot happen, as imxfb_remove() can only be called if
imxfb_probe() succeeded.  imxfb_probe() does check the result of
platform_get_resource(), and fails if the resource was not found.
