We would like to be able to describe PCIe ECAM resources as
IORESOURCE_MEM blocks while distinguish them from standard
memory resources. Add an IORESOURCE_BIT entry for this case.

I still don't see any value in this at all. What is the advantage
of doing this opposed to just having a standardized 'reg' property
for a particular compatible string?

Oh, I agree. This patch was trying to provide an improved solution
to the original patch just in case someone considers this a worthwhile
exercise.

Best regards,
