My vote is to change it to KERN_ERR, but it's your call.

My point is that if the of_iomap() call fails, looking for another
global-utilities node is not the right course of action.  of_iomap()
failing is a serious error that should result in an immediate exit.

Not on our 85xx boards.  On 83xx, there's mpc83xx_restart().  I just
don't like "ppc_md.restart == fsl_rstcr_restart", because it assumes
that the define_machine() entry is incorrect.
