platform/surface: Set up Surface Aggregator device registry
The Surface System Aggregator Module (SSAM) subsystem provides various functionalities, which are separated by spreading them across multiple devices and corresponding drivers. Parts of that functionality / some of those devices, however, can (as far as we currently know) not be auto-detected by conventional means. While older (specifically 5th- and 6th-)generation models do advertise most of their functionality via standard platform devices in ACPI, newer generations do not. As we are currently also not aware of any feasible way to query said functionalities dynamically, this poses a problem. There is, however, a device in ACPI that seems to be used by Windows for identifying different Surface models: The Windows Surface Integration Device (WSID). This device seems to have a HID corresponding to the overall set of functionalities SSAM provides for the associated model. This commit introduces a registry providing non-detectable device information via software nodes. In addition, a SSAM platform hub driver is introduced, which takes care of creating and managing the SSAM devices specified in this registry. This approach allows for a hierarchical setup akin to ACPI and is easily extendable, e.g. via firmware node properties. Note that this commit only provides the basis for the platform hub and registry, and does not add any content to it. The registry will be expanded in subsequent commits.
