[PATCH 1/3] firmware: of: populate /firmware/ node during init

[Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@arm.com>]

Since "/firmware" does not have its own "compatible" property as it's
just collection of nodes representing firmware interface, it's sub-nodes
are not populated during system initialization.

Currently different firmware drivers search the /firmware/ node and
populate the sub-node devices selectively. Instead we can populate
the /firmware/ node during init to avoid more drivers continuing to
populate the devices selectively.

This patch adds initcall to achieve the same.
