This gives us a function for making mailbox property channel requests
of the firmware, which is most notable in that it will let us get and
set clock rates.

v2: Drop power-domains stuff for now since we don't have the driver
core support to make it useful. Move to drivers/firmware/.
Capitalize the enums. De-global the firmware variable. Use the
firmware device to allocate our DMA buffer, so that the dma-ranges
DT property gets respected. Simplify the property tag transaction
interface even more, leaving a multi-tag interface still
available. For conciseness, rename "raspberrypi" to "rpi" on all
functions/enums/structs, and the "firmware" variable to "fw".
Print when the driver is probed successfully, since debugging
-EPROBE_DEFER handling is such a big part of bcm2835 development.
Drop -EBUSY mailbox handling since the mailbox core has been fixed
to return -EPROBE_DEFER in -next.

Note that I don't think I've done what srwarren wanted for
-EPROBE_DEFER, because I'm not clear what he wants. I think he might
just be asking for a function that does:

/*
* Returns 0 if the firmware device is probed and available, otherwise
* -EPROBE_DEFER.
*/
int rpi_firmware_get(struct device_node *firmware_node)
{
struct platform_device *pdev = of_find_device_by_node(of_node);
if (!platform_get_drvdata(pdev))
return -EPROBE_DEFER;
return 0;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(rpi_firmware_get)

If that's all, I'm happy to add it.

Note that a client could currently do this:

ret = rpi_firmware_property_list(firmware_node, NULL, 0);

in exchange for a bit of overhead in the case that it's actually probed already.

Should probably pass the device when freeing as well.

Definition of ret can be move here.

+ ret = PTR_ERR(fw->chan);

You forgot to remove this comment.

+ dev_err(dev, "Failed to get mbox channel: %d\n", ret);

Why not turn the comments into kernel-doc comments:
(Thunderbird converts my tabs into spaces, sorry about that)
