[PATCH v2 00/23] interconnect: fix racy provider registration

The current interconnect provider interface is inherently racy as
providers are expected to be registered before being fully initialised.

This can specifically cause racing DT lookups to fail as I recently
noticed when the Qualcomm cpufreq driver failed to probe:

	of_icc_xlate_onecell: invalid index 0
        cpu cpu0: error -EINVAL: error finding src node
        cpu cpu0: dev_pm_opp_of_find_icc_paths: Unable to get path0: -22
        qcom-cpufreq-hw: probe of 18591000.cpufreq failed with error -22

This only happens very rarely, but the bug is easily reproduced by
increasing the race window by adding an msleep() after registering
osm-l3 interconnect provider.

Note that the Qualcomm cpufreq driver is especially susceptible to this
race as the interconnect path is looked up from the CPU nodes so that
driver core does not guarantee the probe order even when device links
are enabled (which they not always are).

This series adds a new interconnect provider registration API which is
used to fix up the interconnect drivers before removing the old racy
API.

Included are also a number of fixes for other bugs found while preparing
the series.

Changes in v2
 - icc_node_destroy() can be called with an arbitrary node id so add the
   missing sanity check to handle potential attempts to destroy a
   non-existing node (patch 01/23). Reported by Dan Carpenter and the
   kernel test robot:
