OF_getprop_alloc takes element size argument and returns number of
elements in the property. There are valid use cases for such behavior
but mostly API consumers pass 1 as element size to get string
properties. What API users would expect from OF_getprop_alloc is to be
a combination of malloc + OF_getprop with the same semantic of return
value. This patch modifies API signature to match these expectations.
For the valid use cases with element size != 1 and to reduce
modification scope new OF_getprop_alloc_multi function has been
introduced that behaves the same way OF_getprop_alloc behaved prior to
this patch.

Similarly as other extres pseudo-drivers, implement phy by using kobj model.
This detaches it from provider device, so single device driver can export
multiple different phys. Additionally, this allows phy to be subclassed to
more specialized drivers, like is USB OTG phy, or PCIe phy with hot-plug
capability.

In some cases, the driver must handle given properties located in
specific OF subnode. Instead of creating duplicate set of function, add
'node' as argument to existing functions, defaulting it to device OF node.

The following pheripherals are supported: UART, MMC, AHCI, EHCI, PCIe, I2C,
PMIC, GPIO, CPU temperature and clock.
Note: The PCIe driver is pure mash at this moment. It will be reworked
immediately when both D5237 and D2579 enter the current tree.
