Subject: [PATCH v1 1/1] ACPI: Allow platform device creation without any IO resource

Currently, ACPI platform device creation is aborted when there
are no valid IO resources. This approach will not work if the
device has only GPIO as its resource or some custom resources.
So this patch removes zero resource check and allows platform
device creation even without any valid IO resource.
