Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/9] PCI, PNP: print resources consistently

I'm not planning another version of this series because I don't
think anybody's raised substantive issues.

The only thing I see as a potential issue is the increased stack usage:
in resource_string(), the buffer grows from 40 to 73 bytes (64-bit)
or 24 to 52 bytes (32-bit).  I could imagine using a stack buffer and
a mutex for this, but I'm not sure it's worth the code complexity yet.
