Yes, you're right.
It makes the problem.
Thus, this commit "PCI: mvebu: return NULL instead of ERR_PTR(ret)"
should be reverted.


Previously, I sent the patch in order to fix sparse warning as below:
How about this?

static void __iomem *mvebu_pcie_map_registers(struct platform_device *pdev,
			struct device_node *np, struct mvebu_pcie_port *port)
{
	struct resource regs;
	int ret = 0;

	ret = of_address_to_resource(np, 0, &regs);
	if (ret)
-		return ERR_PTR(ret);
+		return (void __iomem *)ERR_PTR(ret);

	return devm_ioremap_resource(&pdev->dev, &regs);
}

static int mvebu_pcie_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
		.....
		port->base = mvebu_pcie_map_registers(pdev, child, port);
		if (IS_ERR(port->base)) {
			dev_err(&pdev->dev, "PCIe%d.%d: cannot map registers\n",
				port->port, port->lane);
			port->base = NULL;
			clk_disable_unprepare(port->clk);
			continue;
		}
