[PATCH 01/19] OMAP: omap_device: add omap_device_is_valid()

From: Kevin Hilman <khilman at deeprootsystems.com>

The omap_device struct contains a 'struct platform_device'.  Normally,
converting a platform_device pointer to an omap_device pointer
consists of simply doing a container_of(), as is done currently by the
to_omap_device() macro.

However, if this is attempted when using platform_device that has not
been created as part of the omap_device creation, the container_of()
will point to a memory location before the platform_device pointer
which will contain random data.

Therefore, we need a way to detect valid omap_device pointers.  This
patch solves this by using the simple magic number approach.
