ibmphp_res.c:static int add_range (int type, struct range_node *, struct bus_node *);
ibmphp_res.c:           add_range (flag, newrange, newbus);
ibmphp_res.c:static int add_range (int type, struct range_node *range, struct bus_node *bus_cur)
ibmphp_res.c: * the range numbers that they correspond to.  It was called from add_range fnc
ibmphp_res.c:                                                                   add_range (IO, range, bus_sec);
ibmphp_res.c:                                                                   add_range (MEM, range, bus_sec);
ibmphp_res.c:                                                                   add_range (PFMEM, range, bus_sec);

can we change name in ibmphp_res.c instead. that is local one.
