Now that these values are identical more duplication can be avoided by
moving the initialization to earlier where rdt_resources_all[] is
initialized. Could you please modify this patch to do so?

This change affects the alignment here ... could you please fix the
alignment to match open parenthesis?

Babu may want to take a look also.
