I plan in the future to remove the macros clps_read/write, and while the time
to do an override for ports in the header mach/gpio.h.
Passing of resources to the driver still seems superfluous, in any case
I changed the code, so please comment on the new version, which will post today.

Yes, I forgot about it in the previous version. The new version of the code
is different and it is no longer necessary.
