You can skip checking 'iores', too. I also did that in the example, but a lot of people seem to miss it.
I can try to do that, but it seems a little bit unintuitive. Perhaps it would be easier for people to remember to put in error handling code when they need it if they always have to do it? If I remove it, there will be one call that has no test and then another call a few lines later that does.
I see your point. I would still like to get rid of the duplicated code (then it can't be forgotten as well). Maybe I should have named the function something alike devm_check_and_request_and_ioremap()? Then I could have also introduced a similar function for requesting irq. Will think about this a bit more. Thanks for updating your patch!
