[PATCH 16/19] driver: make dev_platform_ioremap_resource() device-managed

From: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum at barebox.org>

Unlike devm_platform_ioremap_resource() in Linux, the barebox stand-in
never releases its region. Most users call clk_get() or regulator_get()
after it, so a deferred probe leaves the region requested and the retry
fails with -EBUSY.

Implement it on top of devm_request_mem_resource() and move it out of
line to devres.c.
