There are child nodes in the device tree, e.g. the Raspberry Pi firmware
GPIO device. Add support for this to be a bus so we can attach these
children.

It will be needed by other eaarly drivers.
While here make the dependency of the mailbox formal with MODULE_DEPEND.

The firmware driver uses the mailbox driver to communicate with the
firmware. Make this a more formal dependency.

Communicating with the Raspberry Pi firmware is currently handled by each
driver calling into the mbox driver, however the device tree is structured
such that they should be calling into a firmware driver.
Add a driver for this node with an interface to communicate to the firmware
via the mbox interface.
There is a sysctl to get the firmware revision. This is a unix date so can
be parsed with:
root@generic:~ # date -j -f '%s' sysctl -n dev.bcm2835_firmware.0.revision
