The GPBR registers are used for storing RTC values. The GPBR registers
to use are now provided using standard resource entry. The array is
filled in SoC specific code.
rtc-at91sam9 RTT as RTC driver is modified to retrieve this information.

Why this change? The device has two resources, and the rtc driver
request both of them, so why are you saying there is only one resource
here. It either needs to be changed back to use ARRAY_SIZE, or needs a
comment explaining what magic is in use.
because the number of resources depends on the user of rtt
we must not hardcode the GPBR reg as this resource will be present only if the
rtc-at91sam9 is enabled
Better would be to leave .num_resources uninitalized and set that
appropriately elsewhere when you make the decision whether GPBR is
present or not.  That may help to avoid people trying to "fix" this
for you via static checking tools.

As Ryan mentions, a comment in the code would be a good idea too.
the comment is in the drivers code and Kconfig
Not good enough.  It needs to explain at the at91sam9260_rtt_device
definition why there is a disparity between the number of resources
and the number in the device definition.

People running static checking tools or reading this code aren't going
to look in the Kconfig nor the corresponding driver source for this
information.
