resource: Change __request_region to inherit from immediate parent
__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.
