We've just done an of_iomap() on this resource, which succeeded. How
can the same thing now fail? It would mean that the device tree has
been pulled from under our feet...

And if it could happen, why is returning false the right thing to do?
Why would we say we want EOImode==0 instead of 1?

As it stands, I'm not taking such a patch. It either papers over a
bigger problem, or just keeps a warning quiet for the sake of it.

Thanks,
