[RFC/RFT PATCH 1/2] ARM: kernel: bios32: implement PCI device resources claiming

The current ARM pcibios layer prevents PCI devices resources enablement
if the PCI_PROBE_ONLY global flag is set, since on systems that require
immutable PCI BARs set-up (ie probe only) the arm PCI bios layer does
not assign resources, hence resources are not really checked (ie claimed)
and they do not get assigned a parent, which causes pci_enable_resources
to fail in turn.

If the kernel tries to enable the resources for a PCI device through
pci_enable_resources, it would fail on PCI_PROBE_ONLY systems since the
device resources are not claimed (ie they are not assigned) on those
systems and the resource parent is left uninitialized (ie they have a
dangling parent pointer).

This behaviour does not conform with the expected kernel behaviour.

When a PCI device and its resources are scanned, the detected PCI
resources should be claimed in order to validate their values read
from the BARs set-up and should be assigned a parent resource so that the
resource hierarchy is initialized.

Resource claiming must be carried out on PCI_PROBE_ONLY systems
too, since it is a method for validating resources and it has nothing
to do with PCI_PROBE_ONLY flag.

This patch removes the pcibios_enable_device call from the arm bios32
implementation (which means that arm falls back to the generic weak
version for its implementation, that correctly enables a device resources)
and replaces it with an arm pcibios_add_device implementation, that claims
resources for a device, so that the behaviour becomes compliant with the
expected PCI device kernel initialization flow.

This way, resources are claimed and enabled on PCI_PROBE_ONLY systems
too improving the BAR set-up validation and making the arm kernel PCI
behaviour closer to other architectures.
