question about hva_hw_probe

The function hva_hw_probe in the file
drivers/media/platform/sti/hva/hva-hw.c contains the following code:

/* get memory for esram */
esram = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 1);
if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(esram)) {
dev_err(dev, "%s failed to get esram\n", HVA_PREFIX);
return PTR_ERR(esram);
}
hva->esram_addr = esram->start;
hva->esram_size = resource_size(esram);

platform_get_resource only returns NULL on failure, so the test of
IS_ERR_OR_NULL doesn't look appropriate. Nor does the return value of
PTR_ERR(esram), which will be 0 on a NULL result. But I wondered if it
was intended to have a call to devm_ioremap_resource between the
platform_get_resource and the IS_ERR_OR_NULL test (which should be just
IS_ERR; likewise for the call just above)?

thanks,
julia
