Adrian Bunk 2a0134554e Driver core: fix devres_release_all() return value
Every file should include the headers containing the prototypes for
it's global functions.

Since the GNU C compiler is now able to detect that the function 
prototype of devres_release_all() in the header and the actual function 
disagree regarding the return value, this patch also fixes this bug.

Tejun Heo 9ac7849e35 devres: device resource management
Implement device resource management, in short, devres.  A device
driver can allocate arbirary size of devres data which is associated
with a release function.  On driver detach, release function is
invoked on the devres data, then, devres data is freed.

devreses are typed by associated release functions.  Some devreses are
better represented by single instance of the type while others need
multiple instances sharing the same release function.  Both usages are
supported.

devreses can be grouped using devres group such that a device driver
can easily release acquired resources halfway through initialization
or selectively release resources (e.g. resources for port 1 out of 4
ports).

This patch adds devres core including documentation and the following
managed interfaces.

* alloc/free	: devm_kzalloc(), devm_kzfree()
* IO region	: devm_request_region(), devm_release_region()
* IRQ		: devm_request_irq(), devm_free_irq()
* DMA		: dmam_alloc_coherent(), dmam_free_coherent(),
		  dmam_declare_coherent_memory(), dmam_pool_create(),
		  dmam_pool_destroy()
* PCI		: pcim_enable_device(), pcim_pin_device(), pci_is_managed()
* iomap		: devm_ioport_map(), devm_ioport_unmap(), devm_ioremap(),
		  devm_ioremap_nocache(), devm_iounmap(), pcim_iomap_table(),
		  pcim_iomap(), pcim_iounmap()
