Thanks for your comments! I've prepared a new series which
I'm going to post tomorrow. I've incorporated most of the
remarks, but there's something I have to say about:

I looked around and found plenty of code in drivers/
alone doing the same song and dance around it:
acpi/pci_root.c acpi/resource.c
bus/mvebu-mbus.c
i2c/busses/i2c-i801.c
irqchip/irq-mips-gic.c
memory/omap-gpmc.c
mfd/janz-cmodio.c mfd/lpc_ich.c mfd/sm501.c mtd/devices/ms02-nv.c
nvdimm/namespace_devs.c
of/address.c
parisc/ccio-dma.c parisc/dino.c parisc/lba_pci.c
pci/hotplug/ibmphp_res.c pci/bus.c pci/iov.c pci/setup-res.c
pci/setup-bus.c pci/hotplug/ibmphp_res.c
pcmcia/rsrc_mgr.c pcmcia/pcmcia_resource.c
pnp/manager.c
platform/x86/intel_pmc_ipc.c
pinctrl/sh-pfc/core.c
etc...
I think arch/ will have a few more. If anything this will require
help from coccinelle and more stuff. For now I'll convert the code
to do the same thing as everybody else. And after the "linux,gpio-mmio"
has been successfully mainlined I can worry about how to write the
perfect set_resource_address or set_resource_range (needs to handle
over- and underflows, etc...) and setup the automatic tools to convert
the whole tree. So, unless someone else beats me to this, this would
be my plan.
Regards,
Christian
