[RFC 05/18] driver core: Do not WARN when devres list is not empty at probe time

[Pawel Moll]

regmap_init() adds the initialised map to the device resources,
which can be then obtained in the driver->probe function in a
generic way with dev_reg_regmap(), which makes it independent
from underlying hardware interface. This is useful when
platform_devices are not simply memory mapped but must use
custom way of accessing the registers.

Unfortunately the device core WARNs in a situation when probed
devices has a non-empty resources list. This patch simply
removes this check and doesn't seem to have any side effects.
