Jean Delvare 689ae231af platform: Add support for automatic device IDs
Right now we have support for explicit platform device IDs, as well as
ID-less platform devices when a given device type can only have one
instance. However there are cases where multiple instances of a device
type can exist, and their IDs aren't (and can't be) known in advance
and do not matter. In that case we need automatic device IDs to avoid
device name collisions.

I am using magic ID value -2 (PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO) for this, similar
to -1 for ID-less devices. The automatically allocated device IDs are
global (to avoid an additional per-driver cost.) We keep note that the
ID was automatically allocated so that it can be freed later.

Note that we also restore the ID to PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO on error and
device deletion, to avoid avoid unexpected behavior on retry. I don't
really expect retries on platform device addition, but better safe
than sorry.
