Below is a patch that adds an additional resource class to the
platform
resource types. This is to support additional resources that need to
be passed
to drivers without overloading the existing specific types. In my
case, I need
to send clock information to the driver to enable power management.

Hm, you do realize that Pat's no longer the driver core maintainer?
:)
Anyway, Russell and Adam, any objections to this patch?
I'm not sure if I agree with this patch. "struct resource" is used
primarily for
I/O resource assignment. Although I agree we may need to add new
IORESOURCE types,
I'm not sure if clock data belongs here. I don't think "start" and
"end" would be
useful for most platform data. Could you provide more information
about
this
specific issue and resource type? Maybe we could create a new sysfs
attribute?
I would also like to understand more about what the need is here. We
have clock data and such but use platform_data for it.
