The change to keep things working here (pending the other changes which
Russell wants) is to add a dummy resource with a wide enough range of
registers defined and make it the parent for all the _IO resouces the
PMIC has.  This will put all the PMIC _IO resources in a separate tree
to ioport_resource which can have the resorces added.

If nothing else this seems much more suitable for stable and -rc (the
bug has been there since v3.4).
