rapidio: rework device hierarchy and introduce mport class of devices
This patch removes an artificial RapidIO bus root device and establishes actual device hierarchy by providing reference to real parent devices. It also introduces device class for RapidIO controller devices (on-chip or an eternal bridge, known as "mport"). Existing implementation was sufficient for SoC-based platforms that have a single RapidIO controller. With introduction of devices using multiple RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges the old scheme is very limiting or does not work at all. The implemented changes allow to properly reference platform's local RapidIO mport devices and provide device details needed for upper layers. This change to RapidIO device hierarchy does not break any known existing kernel or user space interfaces.

+6. RapidIO Bus Controllers/Ports
+--------------------------------
+
+On-chip RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges (referenced as
+"Master Port" or "mport") are presented in sysfs as the special class of
+devices: "rapidio_port".
+
+The /sys/class/rapidio_port subdirectory contains individual subdirectories
+named as "rapidioN" where N = mport ID registered with RapidIO subsystem.
+
+NOTE: An mport ID is not a RapidIO destination ID assigned to a given local
+mport device.
+
+Each mport device subdirectory in addition to standard entries contains the
+following device-specific attributes:
+
+ port_destid - reports RapidIO destination ID assigned to the given RapidIO
+ mport device. If value 0xFFFFFFFF is returned this means that
+ no valid destination ID have been assigned to the mport (yet).
+ Normally, before enumeration/discovery have been executed only
+ fabric enumerating mports have a valid destination ID assigned
+ to them using "hdid=..." rapidio module parameter.
+ sys_size - reports RapidIO common transport system size:
+ 0 = small (8-bit destination ID, max. 256 devices),
+ 1 = large (16-bit destination ID, max. 65536 devices).
+
+After enumeration or discovery was performed for a given mport device,
+the corresponding subdirectory will also contain subdirectories for each
+child RapidIO device connected to the mport. Naming conventions for RapidIO
+devices are described in Section 1 above.
+
+The example below shows mport device subdirectory with several child RapidIO
+devices attached to it.
