Subject: [PATCH v1 0/6] resource: Set struct resource types correctly

We have several places that insert struct resources into the iomem_resource
or ioport_resource trees without setting the type.  This *works* fine
because it's obvious that a resource must be the same type as its parent,
but it does mean that if we ever print the resource with %pR, it doesn't
print correctly.

These patches fix all the cases I found.  Ideally I'd like to merge all
these through my PCI tree because I'm working on some legacy resource
changes that do cause some of these resources to be printed.
