Hi Haojian,

You need to provide more details about why this is needed, and how the sub
devices resources can change from one platform to another.

Also, some additional comments:

Do you really need to define this empty resource ? Can't you do that from the 
device_*_init() routines ?

I don't think you need to pass the i2c pointer here.

Cheers,
