lib: devres: add a comment about the devm_of_iomap() function
We recently introduced a bug when we tried to convert of_iomap() to devm_of_iomap(). The problem was that there were two drivers mapping the same io region. The first driver was using of_iomap() and the second driver was using devm_of_iomap() and the kernel booted fine. When we converted the first drive to use devm_of_iomap() then the second driver failed with -EBUSY and the kernel couldn't boot. Let's add a comment to prevent this sort of mistake in the future.
