These are for the peripheral resources not in control of GPMC, like
gpio irq. These are copied in gpmc_create_child.

When coding started, multiple CS for a peripheral was not taken into
consideration, later handling multiple CS was incorporated making it
this way. But your suggestion seems better to me, will see if code can
modified accordingly in later patch series (v2 already sent)

Ok
