Hi Tim -- just curious, why was the similar check on ioc->chip just a
few lines above the one added by the patch insufficient?
That loop block sets memap_sz when it finds an IORESOURCE_MEM so that it
only sets ioc->chip once. I wonder if the fix might be simpler if the
existing ioc->chip check relocated entirely to where you put it (maybe
also pulling the entire error text onto one line for easier grepping).
