staging: comedi: add generic auto-config functions
Add (and export) generic auto-config function `comedi_auto_config()` to
allow hardware devices on arbitrary bus types (e.g. platform devices,
spi devices, etc.) to be auto-configured as comedi devices. This uses a
new `auto_attach()` hook in the `struct comedi_driver`. This new hook
will eventually replace the bus-specific `attach_pci()` and
`attach_usb()` hooks in the low-level comedi drivers.
When the `auto_attach()` hook is called in the low-level driver, the
`hw_dev` member of the `struct comedi_device` will have already been set
to the hardware device passed to `comedi_auto_config()`. The low-level
driver can convert this to some bus-device wrapper structure pointer,
possibly with the help of the `context` parameter that is passed
unchanged from the `comedi_auto_config()` call.
Also export the existing `comedi_auto_unconfig()` function as the
matching call to `comedi_auto_config()`.
