[RFC][PATCH v2 06/29] soc: qcom: smem: add minidump device

Add a minidump platform device.
Minidump can collect various memory snippets using dedicated firmware.
To know which snippets to collect, each snippet must be registered
by the kernel into a specific shared memory table which is controlled
by the qcom smem driver.
To instantiate the minidump platform driver, register its data using
platform_device_register_data.
Later on, the minidump driver will probe and register itself into
kmemdump as a backend
