The patch series added a new bus type vchiq_bus_type and registers
child devices in order to move them away from using platform
device/driver.

Patch 1/5 and 2/5 adds a new bus_type and registers them to vchiq
interface

Patch 3/5 and 4/5 moves the bcm2835-camera and bcm2835-audio
to the new bus respectively

Patch 5/5 removes a platform registeration helper which is no
longer required.

Changes in v9:
- Fix module autoloading
- Implement bus_type's probe() callback to load drivers
- Implement bus_type's uevent() to make sure appropriate drivers are
  loaded when device are registed from vchiq.

Changes in v8:
- Drop dual licensing. Instead use GPL-2.0 only for patch 1/5

Changes in v7:
(5 out of 6 patches from v6 merged)
- Split the main patch (6/6) as requested.
- Use struct vchiq_device * instead of struct device * in
  all bus functions.
- Drop additional name attribute displayed in sysfs (redundant info)
- Document vchiq_interface doesn't enumerate device discovery
- remove EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(vchiq_bus_type)

Changes in v6:
- Split struct device and struct driver wrappers in vchiq_device.[ch]
- Move vchiq_bus_type definition to vchiq_device.[ch] as well
- return error on bus_register() failure
- drop dma_set_mask_and_coherent
- trivial variable name change

Changes in v5:
- Fixup missing "staging: " in commits' subject line
- No code changes from v4

Changes in v4:
- Introduce patches to drop include directives from Makefile

Changes in v3:
- Rework entirely to replace platform devices/driver model
