I'm not sure if I agree with this patch. "struct resource" is used primarily for I/O resource assignment. Although I agree we may need to add new IORESOURCE types, I'm not sure if clock data belongs here. I don't think "start" and "end" would be useful for most platform data. Could you provide more information about this specific issue and resource type? Maybe we could create a new sysfs attribute?
