I agree, but even a define is not good enough. For example you can
update the array without updating the define.
A better solution is to do what I did on my follow up patch series:
+ struct resource res[] = {
+ { .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM },
+ { .flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ },
+ };
+ err = platform_device_add_resources(pdev, res, ARRAY_SIZE(res));
No need for a define, and as soon as the array is updated so will the
second argument sent to platform_device_add_resources.
