[PATCH v1 00/17] tee: Use bus callbacks instead of driver callbacks

Hello,

the objective of this series is to make tee driver stop using callbacks
in struct device_driver. These were superseded by bus methods in 2006
(commit 594c8281f905 ("[PATCH] Add bus_type probe, remove, shutdown
methods.")) but nobody cared to convert all subsystems accordingly.

Here the tee drivers are converted. The first commit is somewhat
unrelated, but simplifies the conversion (and the drivers). It
introduces driver registration helpers that care about setting the bus
and owner. (The latter is missing in all drivers, so by using these
helpers the drivers become more correct.)

The patches #4 - #17 depend on the first two, so if they should be
applied to their respective subsystem trees these must contain the first
two patches first.

Note that after patch #2 is applied, unconverted drivers provoke a
warning in driver_register(), so it would be good for the user
experience if the whole series goes in during a single merge window. So
I guess an immutable branch containing the frist three patches that can
be merged into the other subsystem trees would be sensible.

After all patches are applied, tee_bus_type can be made private to
drivers/tee as it's not used in other places any more.

Best regards
Uwe
