    base/platform: Continue on insert_resource() error · e50e69d1
    Ricardo Ribalda Delgado authored
    insert_resource() can fail when the resource added  overlaps
    (partially or fully) with another.
    
    Device tree and AMBA devices may contain resources that overlap, so they
    could not call platform_device_add (see 02bbde78 ('Revert "of:
    use platform_device_add"'))"
    
    On the other hand, device trees are released using
    platform_device_unregister(). This function calls platform_device_del(),
    which calls release_resource(), that crashes when the resource has not
    been added with with insert_resource. This was not an issue when the
    device tree could not be modified online, but this is not the case
    anymore.
    
    This patch let the flow continue when there is an insert error, after
    notifying the user with a dev_err(). r->parent is set to NULL, so
    platform_device_del() knows that the resource was not added, and
    therefore it should not be released.
