    genalloc: add devres support, allow to find a managed pool by device · 9375db07

    This patch adds three exported functions to lib/genalloc.c:
    devm_gen_pool_create, dev_get_gen_pool, and of_get_named_gen_pool.
    
    devm_gen_pool_create is a managed version of gen_pool_create that keeps
    track of the pool via devres and allows the management code to
    automatically destroy it after device removal.
    
    dev_get_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device, if it was
    created with devm_gen_pool_create, using devres_find.
    
    of_get_named_gen_pool retrieves the gen_pool for a given device node and
    property name, where the property must contain a phandle pointing to a
    platform device node.  The corresponding platform device is then fed into
    dev_get_gen_pool and the resulting gen_pool is returned.
