[PATCH 1/2] new helper to create platform devices with dma mask

compared to the most powerful and already existing helper (namely
platform_device_register_resndata) this allows to specify a dma_mask.
To make eventual extensions later more easy, a struct holding the used
information is created instead of passing the information by function
parameters.

Hello,

as this changes how the parameters are passed, this patch has an impact
on code size for the calling sites. On ARCH=arm/mx27_defconfig it
results in bloat-o-meter reporting:

	add/remove: 3/3 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 354/-170 (184)
	function                                     old     new   delta
	platform_device_register_full                  -     216    +216
	imx_add_imx_dma                               56      88     +32
	__kstrtab_platform_device_register_full        -      30     +30
	imx_add_imx_sdma                             132     160     +28
	alarmtimer_init                              312     336     +24
	mxc_register_gpio                            156     172     +16
	__ksymtab_platform_device_register_full        -       8      +8
	__ksymtab_platform_device_register_resndata       8       -      -8
	__kstrtab_platform_device_register_resndata      34       -     -34
	platform_device_register_resndata            128       -    -128

So calling the already existing functions is a bit more expensive.
With the second patch applied the maximal increase for a call site is
+36.

Still I think using the struct is better than a function with 8
parameters.

Best regards
Uwe
