You don't need to remove this error message.
You would replace 'printk(KERN_ERR "orion_nand:...)' with
'dev_err(&pdev->dev,)'.

	dev_err("failed to allocate device structure.\n");

Yes, this error message is not necessary.
devm_ioremap_resource() provides its own error messages; so all
explicit error messages can be removed from the failure code paths.

How about using devm_ioremap() instead of devm_ioremap_resource()?

Only ioremap() was used previously; however, devm_ioremap_resource()
internally calls both devm_request_mem_region() and devm_ioremap().

If it is wrong, please let me know kindly. :)

As above mentioned, you don't need to remove this error message.
You would replace 'printk(KERN_ERR "orion_nand:...)' with
'dev_err(&pdev->dev,)'.

	dev_err("failed to allocate board structure.\n");
