Nothing looks at the name fields in the shadow resource tree.  So it seemed like that pointer could point to anything.  I figured by making it point to the resource claim from the iomem_resource that might be useful in debugging someday.  If you'd rather see something different here, it doesn't make much difference to me.

Thanks for the review,
