Rather than embedding a struct platform_device inside a struct
omap_device, decouple them, leaving only a pointer to the
platform_device inside the omap_device.

This patch uses devres to allocate and attach the omap_device to the
struct device, so finding an omap_device from a struct device means
using devres_find(), and the to_omap_device() helper function was
modified accordingly.

RFC/Hack alert:

Currently the driver core (drivers/base/dd.c) doesn't expect any
devres resources to exist before the driver's ->probe() is called.  In
this patch, I just comment out the warning, but we'll need to
understand why that limitation exists, and if it's a real limitation.
A first glance suggests that it's not really needed.  If this is a
true limitation, we'll need to find some way other than devres to
attach an omap_device to a struct device.

On OMAP, we will need an omap_device attached to a struct device
before probe because device HW may be disabled in probe and drivers
are expected to use runtime PM in ->probe() to activate the hardware
before access.  Because the runtime PM API calls use omap_device (via
our PM domain layer), we need omap_device attached to a
platform_device before probe.

The devres lifetime is scoped to binding a driver; it is added at
probe time and removed at release.  For this use-case, it needs to be
scoped to the lifetime of the struct device.  To make this work,
you'll need to add a flag to devres so that the driver core can
differentiate between driver-scoped and device-scoped lifetimes (which
I do think is the right thing to do).  Without fixing this, the driver
core will remove all the devres when a driver gets unbound, or if a
.probe() hook fails, which completely breaks the driver model.

This feels really wrong to overload devres with this.  devres purpose is
to provide the device's _drivers_ with a way to allocate and free resources
in such a way to avoid leaks on .remove or probe failure.  So I think that
overloading it with something that has a different lifetime is completely
wrong.

We could add a new member to struct dev_archdata or pdev_archdata to carry
a pointer to this data, which I think would be a far cleaner (and saner)
way to deal with this.  In much the same way as we already have an of_node
member in struct device.

I disagree; extending devres to also handle device lifetime scoped
resources makes perfect sense. It is a clean extension, and struct device
is really getting rather huge.  I certainly prefer re-scoping devres
to adding more elements to struct device.

Since this is just for omap_device, which by definition is arm-only, I
don't have any strong objection to using pdev_archdata. If it was
cross-architecture, then I'd argue strongly for the devres approach.

The point is you're asking something which is designed to have a well
defined lifetime of driver-bind...driver-unbind to do a lot more than
that - extending its lifetime conditional on some flag to the entire
device lifetime instead.

Such extensions tend to be a disaster - and a recipe for confusion as
people will no longer have a clear idea of the lifetime issues.  We
already know that people absolutely struggle to understand lifed
objects - we see it time and time again where people directly kfree
stuff like platform devices without thinking about whether they're
still in use.

So no, extending devres is a _big_ mistake and is far from clean.

Not only that, but if most of the platform devices are omap devices,
(as it would be on OMAP), you'll consume more memory through having to
have the additional management structs for the omap_device stuff than
a simple pointer.

As for struct device getting rather huge, last time I looked it contained
a load of stuff which was there whether or not a platform used it.  Eg,
you get 4 bytes wasted for an of_node whether you have DT support or not.
If sizeof(struct device) really is a problem, then it needs the unused
stuff ifdef'd away.  So I don't buy the "its getting rather huge" argument.

Indeed, which is why I think putting it in the platform device archdata
makes total sense, more sense than buggering up the clean devres lifetime
rules that we have today.
