It does not check the array index. Read the complete code:

        for (k = 0; k < INTC_IRQPIN_REG_NR; k++) {
                io[k] = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, k);
                if (!io[k] && k < INTC_IRQPIN_REG_NR_MANDATORY) {

The array bound is INTC_IRQPIN_REG_NR and the check about which that
tool complains has nothing to do with array bounds. Completely valid
code.
