Add BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER as a bus notifier event.

For driver binding/unbinding we with this in
place have the following bus notifier events:
 - BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER - before ->probe()
 - BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER - after ->probe()
 - BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER - before ->remove()
 - BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER - after ->remove()

The event BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER allows bus code
to be notified that ->probe() is about to be called.

Useful for bus code that needs to setup hardware before
the driver gets to run. With this in place platform
drivers can be loaded and unloaded as modules and the
new BIND event allows bus code to control for instance
device clocks that must be enabled before the driver
can be executed.

Without this patch there is no way for the bus code to
get notified that a modular driver is about to be probed.

There is little rationale for marking bus_for_each_drv() __must_check.
It is more of an iteration helper than a real function. You don't know
in advance which callback it will be used on, so you have no clue how
important it can be to check the returned value. In practice, this
helper function can be used for best-effort tasks.

As a matter of fact, bus_for_each_dev() is not marked __must_check.
So remove it from bus_for_each_drv() as well. This is the same that
was done back in October 2006 by Russell King for
device_for_each_child(), for exactly the same reasons.

The dev_info macro is converted to _dev_info because there are
existing uses of variables named dev_info in the kernel tree
like drivers/net/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.c

A dev_info macro is created to call _dev_info

OF-style matching can be available to any device, on any type of bus.
This patch allows any driver to provide an OF match table when CONFIG_OF
is enabled so that drivers can be bound against devices described in
the device tree.

The semaphore is semantically a mutex. Convert it to a real mutex and
fix up a few places where code was relying on semaphore.h to be included
by device.h, as well as the users of the trylock function, as that value
is now reversed.

Currently, platforms using CONFIG_OF add a 'struct device_node *of_node'
to dev->archdata.  However, with CONFIG_OF becoming generic for all
architectures, it makes sense for commonality to move it out of archdata
and into struct device proper.

This patch adds a struct device_node *of_node member to struct device
and updates all locations which currently write the device_node pointer
into archdata to also update dev->of_node.  Subsequent patches will
modify callers to use the archdata location and ultimately remove
the archdata member entirely.

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).
