Reading linux/ioport.h I don't see a type that seems to be a better fit.
It's not MEM, REG, IRQ, DMA, or BUS. IO seems to be the only type that
fits.

The reason the driver uses struct resources instead of straight-up
numeric GPIO fields is for the 'name' field in the resources.

Given that the use of platform_data pretty much makes it impossible to
have more than one of these devices in a system at a time, there doesn't
seem to be a point to using named resources.

So I'll change these resource lists to using straight-up ints.
