This patch:
  1. adds a Fieldbus subsystem
  2. adds support for the HMS Industrial Networks AB Profinet card.

1. Fieldbus subsystem
---------------------

Fieldbus device (client) adapters allow data exchange with a PLC aka.
"Fieldbus Controller" over a fieldbus (Profinet, FLNet, etc.)
They are typically used when a Linux device wants to expose itself
as an actuator, motor, console light, switch, etc. over the fieldbus.
The framework is designed to provide a generic interface to Fieldbus
Devices from both the Linux Kernel and the userspace.

2. Add support for HMS Profinet Card
------------------------------------

Profinet is an industry technical standard for data communication over
Industrial Ethernet, designed for collecting data from, and controlling,
equipment in industrial systems, with a particular strength in delivering data
under tight time constraints (on the order of 1ms or less).

The profinet card itself is connected to the system via an industrial bus
called 'anybus'.

I have followed the bus driver/client driver pattern, and created an anybus
bus driver, plus a client driver for the profinet card.

In case this patch set gets (eventually) accepted, drivers for other anybus
client cards may follow: flnet, cc-link, ...

The anybus slot on the host is located on an 'anybus controller', which is
custom h/w designed by arcx. It exposes a dual anybus host implementation,
plus a power readout unrelated to the anybus.

v7:
        use %zu printf formatter to display size_t

v6:
        Randy Dunlap:
        correctly/consistently indent Kconfig
        spelling/punctuation improvements

        Greg KH:
        suggestion: simplify /sys/class/fieldbus_dev/fieldbus_devX/ -> 
/sys/class/fieldbus_dev/X/
                can't simplify: create_device() also determines the name of the
                associated char device. simplification would result in a char 
device
                named /dev/X ?
        applied above suggestion to arcx-controller driver, this works ok as it 
does not
                have associated char device
        class name left as-is (fieldbus_dev) to differentiate between
                "fieldbus controller" and "fieldbus device" in the future
        makefile clean-up
        sysfs attributes: snprintf -> sprintf
                except card_name, as it's externally provided and could 
potentially
                be > PAGE_SIZE
        enabled/online sysfs attributes converted to "0/1" values
                using kstrtobool()

v5:
        Greg KH:
                fix licence nit
                consistent use of e-mail address
                replaced raw sysfs attribute with kobject_uevent() call
                keep __ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS because we need is_visible field
        Rob Herring:
                controller devicetree entry now requires multiple address
                        regions and interrupts
                controller child node(s) now mapped to child devices by
                        slot/host position (using devicetree reg = <>)
                architectural overhaul to align closely to existing pci arch:

                                pci                     anybus                  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common bus code (spec),         pci/pci_driver.c        anybus/dev_core.c
  calls bus_register()          no of compatible        no of compatible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                pci_host_probe()        
anybus_host_common_probe()

v4:
        general
                create fieldbus_dev subsystem, with standardized 'simple'
                        userspace interface (sysfs + cdev)
                remove redundant __packed keywords
                use __be16/32 types wherever values are explicitly big-endian
        hms-profinet:
                remove configuration code, and uapi headers: not supported (yet)
                        when registering as a fieldbus_dev.
        anybuss-host:
                use struct kref to reference-count tasks
                replace busy loops with usleep_range() loop after 10 tries
                use threaded irq so time_before_eq(jiffies, timeout) will
                        continue to work
                allow client devices to be assigned a devicetree node,
                        in the same way as pci/mmc/...

v3:
        devicetree-bindings
                adding the vendor prefix is now a separate commit
        anybus-bridge:
                moved misc driver to drivers/bus/
                converted of_gpio_* to gpiod_* abstractions
                can power readout is now a fixed-voltage regulator
        anybuss-host:
                converted refcounts from atomic_t to refcount_t
                fixed potential use-after-free
        hms-profinet:
                applied minor kernel build robot suggestion

v2:
        added architecture overview comments to host driver
        completely reworked anybus-bridge driver, it becomes a reset controller
        anybuss-host driver now needs devicetree entry, link to reset controller
        I will hold off on kernel-doc until the overall architecture gets
                more validation / approval
        fixed Kconfig, comment-style, document ioctl magic numbers
        removed redundant pwm dependency
        renamed enable-gpios to reset-gpios
        stop driving reset-gpio after unloading driver
        use interrupt-parent / interrupts method to describe interrupts
                in the devicetree
        convert references 'i.MX WEIM parallel bus' to 'parallel bus'
        replace devicetree functions with more generic platform_get_resource()
                                                        platform_get_irq()
        added device unique data to add_device_randomness()

v1:
        first shot
