fsi: Add new central chardev support
The various FSI devices (sbefifo, occ, scom, more to come) currently use misc devices. This is problematic as the minor device space for misc is limited and there can be a lot of them. Also it limits our ability to move them to a dedicated /dev/fsi directory or to be smart about device naming and numbering. It also means we have IDAs on every single of these drivers This creates a common fsi "device_type" for the optional /dev/fsi grouping and a dev_t allocator for all FSI devices. "Legacy" devices get to use a backward compatible numbering scheme (as long as chip id <16 and there's only one copy of a given unit type per chip). A single major number and a single IDA are shared for all FSI devices. This doesn't convert the FSI device drivers to use the new scheme yet, they will be converted individually.
