* If the ACPI node has a parent and that parent has a physical device
Currently, ACPI platform device creation is aborted when there are no valid IO resources. This approach will not work if the device has only GPIO as its resource or some custom resources. So this patch removes zero resource check and allows platform device creation even without any valid IO resource.
