Hi Andy,
I'm not going through all patch, by one thing I would like you to pay
attention on, i.e.
printing resource_size_t and struct resource

resource_size_t is dynamic width type, you will see a compiler
warning. For this we have
%pap specifier.

Moreover, in some cases it's useful to print struct resource via %pR or %pr.
I have already fixed this up in my rework.
Consider reading kernel documentation about these (printk-formats.rst).

Why not utilize struct resource?

If it's coming from platform / firmware it should *never* have types
like size_t, unsigned long, resource_size_t, etc.
This is not coming from firmware, but it is a struct which we define in 
the kernel per host, describing that host bus address range for translation.

In fact, generally io_start is 0 and the io_size would be 
PIO_INDIRECT_SIZE, so I'll consider removing it for now.

The idea of terminator is to be such (remove comma there). And it's
basically redundant to have an empty string there. Moreover, it's a
waste of resources in ro section.
OK, the comma should be removed. So what is the preferred acpi device id 
array sentinel? I see {}, {"", 0}, and {""} used.
thank you,
John
