Hi Bjorn.

Andrew earlier commented that pci_resourec_flags() returns an unsigned long. Had this hanging around a local branch. Useful?


-int pnp_resource_type(struct resource *res)
+unsigned long pnp_resource_type(struct resource *res)
{
return res->flags & (IORESOURCE_IO | IORESOURCE_MEM |
IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_DMA);
}

Seems a bit pointless ... either one of those flags is >= 32 bits, in which case we need u64, or it's not, in which case there is no reason to burden the output with bits we don't need.
