[PATCH 2/3] of/address: Add reg-names property to name an iomem resource

In a HW system, resources in general have name to identify them.
The is the case as well for IOMEM resources filled by DT "reg" entries.
The current DT mechanism is relying on the "reg" order to identify
the proper resource. This is error prone and not the natural way to
retrieve an information in general.
Moreover, the Linux resource system does support a name and an API to
allow a driver to retrieve the resource using the name instead of an
index.

Add a reg-names property to allow the possiblity to provide a name
to any reg entries.
If the name is available, use it to name the resource, otherwise
keep the legacy device name.

+reg-names property
+
+In a HW system, resources in general have name to identify them.
+The is the case as well for register entries.
+The current DT mechanism is relying on the "reg" order to identify
+the proper resource. The reg-names is adding the possiblity to
+provide a name to reg entries.
+
+Usage:
+
+This attribute must be used along with a regular reg entry. If not
+it will be simply ignored.
+The number of entry must match otherwise the default device name will
+be used to as the resource name.
+
+
+Example:
+
+
+l4-abe {
+	compatible = "simple-bus";
+	#address-cells = <2>;
+	#size-cells = <1>;
+	ranges = <0 0 0x48000000 0x00001000>, /* MPU path */
+		 <1 0 0x49000000 0x00001000>; /* L3 path */
+	mcasp {
+		compatible = "ti,mcasp";
+		reg = <0 0x10 0x10>, <0 0x20 0x10>,
+		      <1 0x10 0x10>, <1 0x20 0x10>;
+		reg-names = "mpu", "dat",
+			    "dma", "dma_dat";
+	};
+
+	timer {
+		compatible = "ti,timer";
+		reg = <0 0x40 0x10>, <1 0x40 0x10>;
+		reg-names = "mpu", "dma";
+	};
+};
+
+
+usb {
+	compatible = "ti,usb-host";
+	reg = <0x4a064000 0x800>, <0x4a064800 0x200>,
+	      <0x4a064c00 0x200>;
+	reg-names = "config", "ohci", "ehci";
+};
