[PATCH v5 RESEND 0/5] AMBA: add complete support for power domains

(Old thread name: Exynos4210: fix power domain for MDMA1 device)

This patchset fixes mysterious boot hang on Exynos 4210 SoCs, when IOMMU
is enabled. There is no direct dependency between IOMMU devices and
MDMA1. However enabling IOMMU changes the device probe order, what
results in LCD0 power domain being turned off for some time. During that
time the registration of MDMA1 device happens, what results in system
hangs, because the common bus code tries to read PID/CID registers from
turned-off device.

Since the proposed change in the driver core had impact on existing
drivers (see '-next regression: "driver cohandle -EPROBE_DEFER from
bus_type.match()"' thread https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/17/390 ), I've
checked all the functions assigned to match callback of struct bus_type
objects and found that there are only 4 such functions that don't return
0/1 values:

1. arch/arm/common/sa1111.c: sa1111_match -> result of bitwise &
2. drivers/nvdimm/bus.c: nvdimm_bus_match -> result of test_bit()
3. drivers/sh/superhyway/superhyway.c: superhyway_bus_match -> error codes
     (this is really funny case, all errors are resolved to 'matched' case)
4. drivers/staging/unisys/visorbus/visorbus_main.c: visorbus_match -> 0 and
     some positive integer values, safe for now

The list of functions that I've examined has been generated by following
shell command:
$ git grep -Pp "\.match\s" | grep -A1 bus_type | grep "\.match\s" | tr -s "\t;&,=:" " " | cut -d" " -f1,3

Only the first two functions require potential fixing to ensure that
correct match will not result in negative return value, so the 2
additional patches have been added to v5 patchset.

Changelog:

v5:
- added 2 more patches to avoid regression with existing drivers (nvdimm and
  sa1111), for more information, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/17/390
- changed thread name to "AMBA: add complete support for power domains"

v4: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/2/52
- fixed more issues pointed by Ulf Hansson and Russell King

v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/12/1/334
- fixed issues pointed by Ulf Hansson
- dropped patch for exynos4210 dts, because it already got queued for merging

v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/11/26/229
- added 2 patches from 'On-demand device probing' thread
  (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/9/29/189), which move PID/CIR reading
  from amba_device_add() to amba_match()
- moved dev_pm_domain_attach() to amba_match(), which is allowed to
  return -EPROBE_DEFER

v1: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg463185.html
- initial version
