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()`.
