Hi Rafael,

the aim is to select a PNP ACPI option where resources can be disabled
(or are not needed). E.g., the parallel port of the 600E can be used
with and without IRQ lines. The means to allow for this is to use the
sysfs interface to select disabled resources (just like any other
resource value). In https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/3/41, I used the
following example:

echo disable > /sys/bus/pnp/devices/$device/resources
echo clear > /sys/bus/pnp/devices/$device/resources
echo set irq disabled > /sys/bus/pnp/devices/$device/resources
echo fill > /sys/bus/pnp/devices/$device/resources
echo activate > /sys/bus/pnp/devices/$device/resources

The third line is made possible by the patch series. All other
lines are already implemented.
