Well fine I don't want to argue about this. You are the maintainer.

Any other device driver either uses per instance data or they don't need
to fill in the resources dynamically after extracting them from the
firmware description.

Well that would end up even uglier solution than simply taking a copy.

Fair enough. I'll do these changes in v9.
