[PATCH v3] fbdev: platinumfb: add error checking for ioremap calls

From: Yue Bing Kun <hidden>
Date: 2026-08-20 06:00:33

From: BingKun Yue <redacted>

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.

You are using various combinations of your name:

Maybe you should decide on one?

And this one is a) reversed and b) useless & contraproductive (I will not take it).
