At the end is some example code how things could get even more cleaned up. It shows how I think pnp layer and one example driver would get adjusted. There are not that much drivers making use of pnp_resource_change...
The ALSA ISA-PnP drivers do in what I personally consider a bad layering violation. Brought up not doing that a while ago on alsa-devel, but no discussion ensued. If the PnP maintainer(s) agree with me though, I'd be more than happy to rip all of that out of ALSA.
I'm fine with removal of that stuff now. It was implemented in that way because there was no proper way to re-assign ISA PnP resources on 2.4 kernel time. On 2.6, it makes no longer any sense (except for compatibility, but this is almost no problem for PnP boards).
