remoteproc: qcom_q6v5_mss: Create platform device for BAM-DMUX
The modem remoteproc on older Qualcomm SoCs (e.g. MSM8916 and MSM8974)
implements the BAM-DMUX protocol to allow access to the network data
channels of the modem. The hardware/firmware resources required to
implement the BAM-DMUX driver are described in an extra node in the
device tree (with the compatible "qcom,bam-dmux").
This node logically belongs below the modem remoteproc, so that both
control interfaces (rpmsg_wwan_ctrl) and network interfaces (bam_dmux)
have a common parent.
Unlike other child devices of the modem remoteproc, the bam-dmux device
currently does not follow the state of the remoteproc (i.e. it is not
added/removed when the remoteproc is started/stopped). However, this is
an implementation detail of the bam_dmux driver in Linux that might
change in the future.
To be flexible for future changes, create a standard platform device
specifically only for "qcom,bam-dmux", rather than populating all child
nodes. This is also more consistent with the way the other child nodes
are handled in the driver.
Note: of_platform_device_create() and of_node_put() have NULL-checks
internally, so there is no need to check if the "qcom,bam-dmux" node
actually exists in the device tree.
