Why are you opening a devres group here?  The device model already opens
a devres group ready for the ->probe callback, which is released when
the device is unbound... hmm, see below though...

Why EPROBE_DEFER for a missing resource?

You could use devm_ioremap_resource() to simplify the mapping, resource
allocation and resource error handling.

Hmm, I guess this is why you're using devm groups - it seems like
edac allocation/freeing needs to be improved to work cooperatively
with devm_* APIs rather than having to add devm group complexity
into drivers.
