Missed parenthesis.

Still not visible why Fixes tag.
Provide also couple of lines of crash and add a paragraph about it.

[PATCH v1] io-mapping: Indicate mapping failure

[Michael J. Ruhl]

The !ATOMIC_IOMAP version of io_maping_init_wc will always return
success, even when the ioremap fails.

Since the ATOMIC_IOMAP version returns NULL when the init fails, and
callers check for a NULL return on error this is unexpected.

Return NULL on ioremap failure.

the io-mapping"
