[PATCH v2 06/22] device property: add fwnode_ensure_device()

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Checks if the device associated with this firmware node has been already
probed, and probes it if not.

It can be used by resource getters to make sure that the requested
resource is available, if at all possible.

For OF nodes, it finds the platform device that encloses this node and
tries to probe it.

Changes in v2:
- Add fwnode_ensure_device() so the mechanism for probing devices on
  demand is independent of the firmware format.
