Wowsers! And I felt -ENOENT was so intuitive, well if I'm going against common practice, no good. So let's ask the maintainer of the platform bus what shall be returned in this situation:
Greg (or some other wise person from linux-kernel) what would you return if platform_get_resource() returns NULL for an expected resource?
