dm: core: Add a flag to control sequence numbering

At present we try to use the 'reg' property and device tree aliases to give
devices a sequence number. The 'reg' property is often actually a memory
address, so the sequence numbers thus-obtained are not useful. It would be
better if the devices were just sequentially numbered in that case. In fact
neither I2C nor SPI use this feature, so drop it.

Some devices need us to look up an alias to number them within the uclass.
Add a flag to control this, so it is not done unless it is needed.

Adjust the tests to test this new behaviour.

dm: core: Allow uclasses to specify platdata for a device's children

In many cases the child platform data for a device's children is defined by
the uclass rather than the individual devices. For example, a SPI bus needs
to know the chip select and speed for each of its children. It makes sense
to allow this information to be defined the SPI uclass rather than each
individual driver.

If the device provides a size value for its child platdata, then use it.
Failng that, fall back to that provided by the uclass.

dm: core: Allow parents to have platform data for their children

For buses it is common for parents to need to know the address of the child

can be provided in platform data attached to each child.

Add driver model support for this, including auto-allocation which can be
requested using a new property to specify the size of the data.

dm: Introduce per-child data for devices

Some device types can have child devices and want to store information
about them. For example a USB flash stick attached to a USB host
controller would likely use this space. The controller can hold
information about the USB state of each of its children.

The data is stored attached to the child device in the 'parent_priv'
member. It can be auto-allocated by dm when the child is probed. To
do this, add a per_child_auto_alloc_size value to the parent driver.

dm: Add functions to access a device's children

Devices can have childen that can be addressed by a simple index, the
sequence number or a device tree offset. Add functions to access a child
in each of these ways.

The index is typically used as a fallback when the sequence number is not
available. For example we may use a serial UART with sequence number 0 as
the console, but if no UART has sequence number 0, then we can fall back
to just using the first UART (index 0).

The device tree offset function is useful for buses, where they want to
locate one of their children. The device tree can be scanned to find the
offset of each child, and that offset can then find the device.

dm: Provide a function to scan child FDT nodes

At present only root nodes in the device tree are scanned for devices.
But some devices can have children. For example a SPI bus may have
several children for each of its chip selects.

Add a function which scans subnodes and binds devices for each one. This
can be used for the root node scan also, so change it.

A device can call this function in its bind() or probe() methods to bind
its children.
