I suspect the preference would be to test:

	if (IS_ERR(vfio_pci_core_get_iomap(vdev, 0)))
		goto error_exit;

in nvgrace_gpu_open_device(), then just use:

	ret = nvgrace_gpu_wait_device_ready(vfio_pci_core_get_iomap(vdev, 0);

here.

Regarding the previously exported symbol, if the concern is that it was
a GPL symbol and now it's a static inline, it's not doing anything that
couldn't easily be open coded, so I don't see an issue.  Thanks,
