Sent an initial RFC-patch for the bcm2835-aux enable framework.

Only contains 2 API functions:
   bcm2835aux_enable(struct device *dev, const char *property);
   bcm2835aux_disable(struct device *dev, const char *property);

Device is the device of the real HW driver for the aux block (spi or
uart) and property is the name of the property in the device tree
of that device.

Please review if this is acceptable, so that I then can send
a complete patch-set including this API as well as the spi driver.

Thanks
