[PATCH v2 1/3] drm/loongson: Add a helper for creating child devices

[Sui Jingfeng]

In some display subsystems, the functionality of a PCIe device may too
complex to be managed by a single driver. A split of the functionality
into child devices can helpful to achieve better modularity.

Another benefit is that we could migrate the dependency on exterinal
modules to a submodule level with the helper created. For example, it's
not uncommon that some exterinal module will return -EPROBE_DEFER to our
driver during probe time. KMS driver has to tear down everything when it
receives -EPROBE_DEFER, the problem is that it's completely not necessary
and rising cyclic dependency problems if not process correctly.

Add the loongson_create_platform_device() function, which allows the KMS
driver to create sub-devices for it. The manually created decice acts as
agents for the principal part, migrate the potential issue to submodule.
