[PATCH 1/3] resource: Make __request_region to inherit from immediate parent

[Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hpe.com>]

__request_region() sets 'flags' from a given 'parent' to inherit
its attribute.  When a target resource has conflict, this function
inserts a resource entry under the conflicted entry by updating
'parent'.  In this case, the new resource entry needs to inherit
attribute from the updated parent.

For instance, request_mem_region() calls __request_region() with
'parent' set to &iomem_resource, which is the root entry of the
whole iomem range.  When this request results in inserting a new
entry "new" under "DEV-A", "new" needs to inherit from the immediate
parent "DEV-A" as it holds specific attribute for the range.

root (&iomem_resource)
 :
 + "DEV-A"
    + "new"

Change __request_region() to set 'flags' and 'desc' of a new entry
from the immediate parent.
