Subject: irqchip/mxs: Fix error check of of_io_request_and_map()
From: Vladimir Zapolskiy <[email protected]>
commit edf8fcdc6b254236be005851af35ea5e826e7e09 upstream.
The of_io_request_and_map() returns a valid pointer in iomem region or ERR_PTR(), check for NULL always fails and may cause a NULL pointer dereference on error path.
