[PATCH v4 4/9] x86/microcode: move away from using a fake platform device

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

Downloading firmware needs a device to hang off of, and so a platform
device seemed like the simplest way to do this.  Now that we have a faux
device interface, use that instead as this "microcode device" is not
anything resembling a platform device at all.

v4: - api tweaked due to parent pointer added to faux_device create
      function.
v3: no change
v2: new example patch in this series
