Add the control driver for the Chips&Media Wave6 video codec IP.

The hardware contains one control register region and four interface
register regions for a shared video processing engine.

This driver handles the control region and manages shared resources such
as firmware loading, firmware memory allocation, and coordination

required

by the interface register regions.

It also instantiates and coordinates with the `wave6-core` child devices
for firmware and power state management.

Look likes this driver is independent on other one, as parent devices,
which
register children devices only.

You can move this patch just after binding.

I got it. I'll move this patch after binding in v8.

Thanks.
Nas.
