The change fixes potential oops while accessing iomem on invalid
address, if devm_ioremap_resource() fails due to some reason.

The devm_ioremap_resource() function returns ERR_PTR() and never
returns NULL, which makes useless a following check for NULL.

Using pwm: brcmstb for the subject might be a better fit to match the
filename, but this is bike shedding.
