platform_get_resource() may fail and return NULL, so we should
better check it's return value to avoid a NULL pointer dereference.

Hi,
I look into the implementation of platform_get_resource(),
and do cross-check the usages of it in the codebase, especially
the usages in other probe function.
And I go through some simliar bugfix commits in the revision history——
add check for return value of platform_get_resource() in probe
functions,to learn the way to fix this kind of bugs.
But sorry I don't have the corresponding device for running test.
