Extract generic of_device allocation code from of_platform_device_create()
and move it into of_device.[ch], called of_device_alloc(). Also, there's now
of_device_free() which puts the device node.
This way, bus drivers that build on of_platform (like ibmebus will) can
build upon this code instead of reinventing the wheel.

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.
Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
error handling.

This moves all the common parts for the Sparc, Sparc64 and PowerPC
of_device.c files into drivers/of/device.c.
Apart from the simple move, Sparc gains of_match_node() and a call to
of_node_put in of_release_dev(). PowerPC gains better recovery if
device_create_file() fails in of_device_register().

Apparently other parts of the kernel need to know the
modalias internally (like the sysfs code in macintosh driver).
To avoid consistency issues, we export this code and use it
everywhere it's needed rather than repeat it ...

This is just a straight replacement.
This leaves the compatibility define in place.

This common uevent handler allow the several bus types based on
of_device to generate the uevent properly and avoiding
code duplication.
This handlers take a struct device as argument and can therefore
be used as the uevent call directly if no special treatment is
needed for the bus.

Removed compiler warning about ignoring the return code of device_create_file
in of_device_register.

This patch first splits of_device.c and of_platform.c, the later containing
the bits relative to of_platform_device's. On the "breaks" side of things,
drivers uisng of_platform_device(s) need to include asm/of_platform.h now
and of_(un)register_driver is now of_(un)register_platform_driver.
In addition to a few utility functions to locate of_platform_device(s),
the main new addition is of_platform_bus_probe() which allows the platform
code to trigger an automatic creation of of_platform_devices for a whole
tree of devices.
The function acts based on the type of the various "parent" devices encountered
from a provided root, using either a default known list of bus types that can be
"probed" or a passed-in list. It will only register devices on busses matching
that list, which mean that typically, it will not register PCI devices, as
expected (since they will be picked up by the PCI layer).
This will be used by Cell platforms using 4xx-type IOs in the Axon bridge
and can be used by any embedded-type device as well.

The linux,device property isn't used anywhere within the kernel, and
since it's a kernel pointer, it's a little useless for userspace.
This change removes the code to create this property in
of_device_register.

Remove the assumption that driver_register() returns the number of devices
bound to the driver. In fact, it returns zero for success or a negative
error value.
Nobody uses the return value of of_register_driver() anyway.
