As the possible failure of the devres_alloc(), the devm_ioremap()
may return NULL pointer.
And the 'port->membase' will be used in mlb_usio_startup() without the
check.
Therefore, in order to avoid the dereference of the NULL pointer, it
should be better to add the check to guarantee the success of the probe.
