[RFC PATCH v2 072/137] hw/arm/aspeed: Give onboard devices a QOM parent (part 1)

[Alexander Graf <graf@amazon.com>]

Convert the *_orphan() device-creation calls in the smaller
hw/arm/aspeed_* board files and the shared aspeed helpers to the new
parented API introduced earlier in this series, so every onboard
device gets a stable path in the composition tree instead of landing
in /machine/unattached with an unstable device[N] name.

The parent for each device is the object that owns its lifetime: the
machine (AspeedMachineState) for board-created I2C peripherals, the
containing SoC device for composite children.  Names follow existing
QOM conventions.

The shared helpers aspeed_create_pca9552(), aspeed_create_pca9554()
and aspeed_soc_uart_realize() gain an Object *parent first argument;
callers in the four large aspeed board files are updated here so
this commit builds standalone, but the direct *_orphan() calls in
those four files are converted in the next commit.

Per-site rationale (reviewers: dispute the modeling here):

hw/arm/aspeed_* boards — per-callsite rationale (62 sites)
============================================================

Common context: all *_i2c_init(AspeedMachineState *bmc) callbacks are invoked
from aspeed_machine_init() (mc->init) via amc->i2c_init(bmc). bmc is the
MachineState → parent = OBJECT(bmc). i2c_slave_create_simple realizes
internally, so no realize-call change needed. i2c_slave_new pairs with
qdev_realize (i2c_slave_realize does not exist).
