Do you agree it? Your patch is presented as "no functional change," but in fact, the current code does not leave the region reserved, while with your patch it does. This is quite a large change and I think it will break things. I would like to see the PNP core reserve resources, but it should be done for all resources of all device. Your patch only affects ioports (I think we should do memory as well), and it only affects the assignment path (I don't think we do this for every device we enumerate). And it effectively adds a region reservation without adding a corresponding release.
