You use devm_ioremap_resource() in the new driver, so if the old one is already loaded the memory region will be already hold and the new driver will simply fail during the probe. So for this part it is OK. However, the old driver doesn't try to reserve the region, it directly uses an ioremap(). So if the new driver is loaded first, then the old one will manage to be loaded too. I think that just adding a request_region()/release_region() (or converting the ioremap in a devm_ioremap_resource() in the old driver would be enough.
