    resource: Change __request_region to inherit from immediate parent · 4e0d8f7e
    Toshi Kani authored
    __request_region() sets 'flags' of a new resource from @parent
    as it inherits the parent's attribute.  When a target resource
    has a conflict, this function inserts the new resource entry
    under the conflicted entry by updating @parent.  In this case,
    the new resource entry needs to inherit attribute from the updated
    parent.  This conflict is a typical case since __request_region()
    is used to allocate a new resource from a specific resource range.
    
    For instance, request_mem_region() calls __request_region() with
    @parent set to &iomem_resource, which is the root entry of the
    whole iomem range.  When this request results in inserting a new
    entry "DEV-A" under "BUS-1", "DEV-A" needs to inherit from the
    immediate parent "BUS-1" as it holds specific attribute for the
    range.
    
    root (&iomem_resource)
     :
     + "BUS-1"
        + "DEV-A"
    
    Change __request_region() to set 'flags' and 'desc' of a new entry
    from the immediate parent.
