Because intel_punit_get_bars() need to use platform_device pointer to get resources.

Empirical value from SCU ipc driver.

>From spec, these three parts are consecutive, so only define one acpi resource entry is reasonable way,
But BIOS maintainer finally make the resource like this due to request from Window os driver,
So can't treat these three as three separate parts.

Those drivers which need to use this Punit APIs in its Probe when do module init.
