Commit f234fdaae1ca ("ACPI: scan: Avoid registering platform devices
with resource overlaps") attempted to avoid platform device registration
errors due to overlaps of resources of the same type returned by the
same _CRS object in the ACPI tables.  It did that by combining two or
more overlapping resources into one, but it went too far and also
caused resources that overlap completely to be combined which broke
the arm-cmn driver that expects two MMIO resources to be present for
each device it binds to and it expects those two resources to overlap
completely.

Address this issue by adding checks for completely overlapping
resources to acpi_platform_adjust_resources() and add a comment
explaining what is done there.

v1 -> v2:
   * It is better to check for complete overlaps both ways as suggested
     by Sashiko.

@Julien: I would appreciate testing this on the machine that needed
commit f234fdaae1ca.
