Only the root should have a NULL parent, so this is just covering up some
other problem - you have a resource which somehow has illegally ended up
with a NULL parent pointer while it's been registered.
Maybe try adding:
if (p->parent == NULL) {
printk("resource with null parent: %lx-%lx: %s\n",
p->start, p->end, p->name);
break;
}
just before the test in that loop, and then finding out why that resource
is becoming invalid.
I get this output in dmesg with the above code.
resource with null parent: 0-57ffffff: System RAM
