For hot swap PCI the driver or some other bus attachment notifier will call allocate_resource for the pci_dev. There is zero reason, other than a fixup, why a driver should change resources, in fact it can't as Martin mentioned because it has zero knowledge of what these address values in the resource structure mean to the host.
