Well, there seems to be a problem with patch [17/23].  Namely, it looks like
one of the commits in the PCI tree introduces struct resource_list_entry for
DT which then fails to compile when your patch [17/23] is merged.  I'm yet
to confirm that, but would there be a problem to send an updated version of
patch [17/23] with the new type called "struct resource_entry" instead?
It doesn't look like the "list" part of the type name is really essential
here.
