So, the above doesn't make much sense to me. It looks like the function
merely decodes the local address, and the below function will stuff it
into a resource structure, but the tests for if the parent is root or
the parent has a ranges property are nonsensical. That shouldn't matter
for the functionality (except for automatically decoding them.. more
below)

This is problematic. A resource is created, but there is absolutely no
indication that the resource represents a localbus address instead of a
CPU address. platform_device reg resources represent CPU addresses.
Trying to overload it will cause confusion in drivers.

No, I don't support doing this. The moment a platform_driver depends on
a local bus address it is doing something special. It needs to decode
its own address in that case, which it can easily do.

Any platform_driver that interprets a IORESOURCE_REG as a localbus
address instead of a CPU address is *BROKEN*. It should be changed to
either decode the address itself, of a new bus type should be created
that can make its own decisions about what address resources mean.

I realize that you want to reuse the platform populate functionality in
this case. We can refactor some of that code to make it usable for
customized platform_bus_type instances.
