[RFC PATCH 1/2] drivers/base: add new devres_update() interface to devres_*

[Shuah Khan]

Media devices often have hardware resources that are shared
across several functions. For instance, TV tuner cards often
have MUXes, converters, radios, tuners, etc. that are shared
across various functions. However, v4l2, alsa, DVB, usbfs, and
all other drivers have no knowledge of what resources are
shared. For example, users can't access DVB and alsa at the same
time, or the DVB and V4L analog API at the same time, since many
only have one converter that can be in either analog or digital
mode. Accessing and/or changing mode of a converter while it is
in use by another function results in video stream error.

A shared devres that can be locked and unlocked by various drivers
that control media functions on a single media device is needed to
address the above problems.

A token devres that can be looked up by a token for locking, try
locking, unlocking will help avoid adding data structure
dependencies between various media drivers. This token is a unique
string that can be constructed from a common data structure such as
struct device, bus_name, and hardware address.

A new devres_* interface to update the status of this token resource
to busy when locked and free when unlocked is necessary to implement
this new managed resource.

devres_update() searches for the resource that matches supplied match
criteria similar to devres_find(). When a match is found, it calls
the update function caller passed in.
