Russell King 9e1ccb4a77 drivers/base: fix devres handling for master device
We weren't handling the devres issues for the master device failing a
bind, or being unbound properly.  Add a devres group to contain these,
and release the resources at the appropriate points.

Russell King 2a41e6070d drivers/base: provide an infrastructure for componentised subsystems
Subsystems such as ALSA, DRM and others require a single card-level
device structure to represent a subsystem.  However, firmware tends to
describe the individual devices and the connections between them.

Therefore, we need a way to gather up the individual component devices
together, and indicate when we have all the component devices.

We do this in DT by providing a "superdevice" node which specifies
the components, eg:

	imx-drm {
		compatible = "fsl,drm";
		crtcs = <&ipu1>;
		connectors = <&hdmi>;
	};

The superdevice is declared into the component support, along with the
subcomponents.  The superdevice receives callbacks to locate the
subcomponents, and identify when all components are present.  At this
point, we bind the superdevice, which causes the appropriate subsystem
to be initialised in the conventional way.

When any of the components or superdevice are removed from the system,
we unbind the superdevice, thereby taking the subsystem down.
