[PATCH 07/13] driver-core: Add class.get_dependencies() callback

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Classes can implement this callback to provide a list of dependencies
for a firmware node. These dependencies can be used to probe devices in
order and to give proper warnings when dependencies cannot be fulfilled.

This functionality is implemented in a class callback because subsystems
implement the bindings that define how dependencies are expressed in the
firmware.

Adds struct fwnode_dependency, to be used to represent lists of
dependencies of fwnodes.
