[PATCH v2 1/6] OMAP: omap_device: Add omap_hwmod_name_get_dev

From: Nishanth Menon <nm@ti.com>

An API which translates a standard hwmod name to corresponding
platform_device is useful for drivers when they need to look up the
device associated with a hwmod name to map back into the device
structure pointers. These ideally should be used by drivers in
mach directory. Using a generic hwmod name like "gpu" instead of
the actual device name which could change in the future, allows
us to:
a) Could in effect help replace apis such as omap2_get_mpuss_device,
omap2_get_iva_device, omap2_get_l3_device, omap4_get_dsp_device,
etc..
b) Scale to more devices rather than be restricted to named functions
c) Simplify driver's platform_data from passing additional fields
all doing the same thing with different function pointer names
just for accessing a different device name.

Provide an omap_hwmod_name_get_dev helper function to convert
hwmod to device pointer.
This wrapper provides ability for drivers to convert directly
from hwmod name back to device pointer without having to handle
this on a driver by driver basis.

I replied to wrong version of patch before, here's the comment again:

One other comment on the API here.

This is an omap_hwmod_* API being added to omap_device.h.

Seems like the function name should be something more like:
omap_device_get_by_name(), or probably omap_device_get_by_hwmod_name().
