You are using various combinations of your name:

Maybe you should decide on one?
The ioremap() and ioremap_wt() calls in platinumfb_probe() were not
checked for failure. If any of these mappings fail, the driver would
dereference NULL pointers, leading to a kernel panic.
Add proper error checking and use goto-based cleanup to avoid code
duplication across the error paths.
This commit message has nothing to do with this patch.

And this one is a) reversed and b) useless & contraproductive (I will not take it).
