Should there be -EPROBE_DEFER handling in here somewhere? The SRAM
is a device, so it might not of been probed yet?

No, firmware probed during bootloader boot and we can use SRAM. SRAM
memory can be safely used.
A previous patch added:
+ CP11X_LABEL(cm3_sram): cm3@220000 {
+ compatible = "mmio-sram";
+ reg = <0x220000 0x800>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ ranges = <0 0x220000 0x800>;
+ };

So it looks like the SRAM is a device, in the linux driver model. And there is a
driver for this, driver/misc/sram.c. How do you know this device has been
probed before the Ethernet driver?

You right, I would add EPROBE_DEFER if of_gen_pool_get return NULL.
Thanks.
