[PATCH v5 3/3] firmware: arm_scmi: Always create devices for standard protocols

Protocol driver module auto-loading requires the devices to already be
created for udev to get the necessary uevents based on which udev loads
modules. But SCMI devices are only created after their { protocol, name }
device-id has been added to the requested-devices list which is done from
scmi_driver_register().
This creates a circular dependency where device creation is waiting for
the driver to register and loading the module with the driver is waiting
for the device to be created.
Add a list of standard protocol device-ids and always create devices for
these without relying on these being added to the requested-devices list.
This removes the circular dependency, fixing module auto-loading.

Changes in v5:
- This is a new patch in v5 replacing "Pre-register protocol, name tupples
for standard protocol". Pre-registering requires
scmi_protocol_device_request() to allow duplicate device-ids, but then if
the first driver of two with duplicate devce-ids gets unloaded device
creation for the second driver will fail. Allowing duplicates causes all
kinds of problems, so this new approach avoids this.
