[PATCH v7 01/11] firmware: raspberrypi: Keep count of all consumers

[Nicolas Saenz Julienne <nsaenzjulienne@xxxxxxx>]

When unbinding the firmware device we need to make sure it has no
consumers left. Otherwise we'd leave them with a firmware handle
pointing at freed memory.

Keep a reference count of all consumers and introduce rpi_firmware_put()
which will permit automatically decrease the reference count upon
unbinding consumer drivers.

Changes since v5:
 - Add comment to avoid people blindly switching the memory allocation
   to the devm variant.
 - Fix function documentation as per Florian's comment.

Changes since v3:
 - Use kref instead of waiting on refcount
