When userspace needs to find a specific device, it currently isn't easy to
resolve a /sys/devices/ path from a specific device tree node. Nor is it
easy to obtain the compatible list for devices.
This patch generalizes the code that inserts OF_* values into the uevent
device attribute so that any device that is attached to an OF node will
have that information exported to userspace. Without this patch only
platform devices and some powerpc-specific busses have access to this
data.
The original function also creates a MODALIAS property for the compatible
list, but that code has not been generalized into the common case because
it has the potential to break module loading on a lot of bus types. Bus
types are still responsible for their own MODALIAS properties.
Boot tested on ARM and compile tested on PowerPC and SPARC.

Xen save/restore is going to use hibernate device callbacks for
quiescing devices and putting them back to normal operations and it
would need to select CONFIG_HIBERNATION for this purpose. However,
that also would cause the hibernate interfaces for user space to be
enabled, which might confuse user space, because the Xen kernels
don't support hibernation. Moreover, it would be wasteful, as it
would make the Xen kernels include a substantial amount of code that
they would never use.
To address this issue introduce new power management Kconfig option
CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS, such that it will only select the code
that is necessary for the hibernate device callbacks to work and make
CONFIG_HIBERNATION select it. Then, Xen save/restore will be able to
select CONFIG_HIBERNATE_CALLBACKS without dragging the entire
hibernate code along with it.

Some users of platform_device_add_{data,resources}() assume that
NULL data and resources will be handled specially, i.e. just ignored.
But the platform core ends up calling kmemdup(NULL, 0, ...), which
returns a non-NULL result (i.e. ZERO_SIZE_PTR), which causes drivers
to oops on a valid code, something like:
if (platform_data)
stuff = platform_data->stuff;

Currently, the platform_bus allows customization of several of the
busses dev_pm_ops methods by using weak symbols so that platform code
can override them. The weak-symbol approach is not scalable when
wanting to support multiple platforms in a single kernel binary.
Instead, provide __init methods for platform code to customize the
dev_pm_ops methods at runtime.
NOTE: after these dynamic methods are merged, the weak symbols should
be removed from drivers/base/platform.c. AFAIK, this will only
affect SH and sh-mobile which should be converted to use this
runtime approach instead of the weak symbols. After SH &
sh-mobile are converted, the weak symobols could be removed.

The current code allocates and manages platform_devices created from
the device tree manually. It also uses an unsafe shortcut for
allocating the platform_device and the resource table at the same
time. (which I added in the last rework; sorry).
This patch refactors the code to use platform_device_alloc() for
allocating new devices. This reduces the amount of custom code
implemented by of_platform, eliminates the unsafe alloc trick, and has
the side benefit of letting the platform_bus code manage freeing the
device data and resources when the device is freed.

of_platform_bus was being used in the same manner as the platform_bus.
The only difference being that of_platform_bus devices are generated
from data in the device tree, and platform_bus devices are usually
statically allocated in platform code. Having them separate causes
the problem of device drivers having to be registered twice if it
was possible for the same device to appear on either bus.
This patch removes of_platform_bus_type and registers all of_platform
bus devices and drivers on the platform bus instead. A previous patch
made the of_device structure an alias for the platform_device structure,
and a shim is used to adapt of_platform_drivers to the platform bus.
After all of of_platform_bus drivers are converted to be normal platform
drivers, the shim code can be removed.

The early dev_name() setup needs to do an allocation which can only be
satisfied under slab_is_available() conditions. Some of the early
platform drivers may be initialized before this point, and those still
need to contend themselves with an empty dev_name.
This fixes up a regression with the SH earlyprintk which was bailing out
prior to hitting the early probe path due to not being able to satisfy
the early allocation. Other early platform drivers (such as the early
timers) that need to match the dev name are sufficiently late that
allocations are already possible.

Currently the default runtime PM callbacks for platform devices return
-ENOSYS, preventing the use of runtime PM platforms until they have
provided at least a default implementation. This hinders the use of

Presently early platform devices suffer from the fact they are unable to
use dev_xxx() calls early on due to dev_name() and others being
unavailable at the time ->probe() is called.
This implements early init_name construction from the matched name/id
pair following the semantics of the late device/driver match. As a
result, matched IDs (inclusive of requested ones) are preserved when the
handoff from the early platform code happens at kobject initialization
time.
Since we still require kmalloc slabs to be available at this point, using
kstrdup() for establishing the init_name works fine. This subsequently
needs to be tested from dev_name() prior to the init_name being cleared
by the driver core. We don't kfree() since others will already have a
handle on the string long before the kobject initialization takes place.
This is also needed to permit drivers to use the clock framework early,
without having to manually construct their own device IDs from the match
id/name pair locally (needed by the early console and timer code on sh
and arm).
