[PATCH 0/9] added helper macros to remove duplicate code from probe functions of the platform drivers

1. For most of the platform drivers's probe include following steps

-memory allocation for driver's private structure
-getting io resources
-io remapping resources
-getting irq number
-registering irq
-setting driver's private data
-getting clock
-preparing and enabling clock

2. We have defined a set of macros to combine some or all of
the above mentioned steps. This will remove redundant/duplicate
code in drivers' probe functions of platform drivers.

devm_platform_probe_helper(pdev, priv, clk_name);
devm_platform_probe_helper_clk(pdev, priv, clk_name);
devm_platform_probe_helper_irq(pdev, priv, clk_name,
irq_hndlr, irq_flags, irq_name, irq_devid);
devm_platform_probe_helper_all(pdev, priv, clk_name,
irq_hndlr, irq_flags, irq_name, irq_devid);
devm_platform_probe_helper_all_data(pdev, priv, clk_name,
irq_hndlr, irq_flags, irq_name, irq_devid);

3. Code is made devres compatible (wherever required)
The functions: clk_get, request_irq, kzalloc, platform_get_resource
are replaced with their devm_* counterparts.

4. Few bugs are also fixed.
