The ioremap() and ioremap_wt() calls in platinumfb_probe() were not
checked for failure. If any of these mappings fail, the driver would
dereference NULL pointers, leading to a kernel panic.

Add proper error checking and use goto-based cleanup to avoid code
duplication across the error paths.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")

That Fixes line ^^^ has no value, so I dropped it.

Would be nice to have your Name written out here, e.g. Yue Bing Kun (or something),
but I've left it as-is for now. In case you resend with full name, I can replace it
in the git tree.

Patch applied (with the Fixes line dropped).

This patch introduces a compiler warning for me:

  drivers/video/fbdev/platinumfb.c: In function 'platinumfb_probe':
  drivers/video/fbdev/platinumfb.c:650:1: warning: label 'err_unmap_regs' defined but not used [-Wunused-label]
    650 | err_unmap_regs:
        | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As far as I can tell, it is unnecessary, so maybe this could be folded
in? Otherwise, I can send a formal patch.
