drivers/base: Introduce device_match_t for device finding APIs
There are several drivers/base APIs for finding a specific device, and they currently use the following good type for the @match parameter: int (*match)(struct device *dev, const void *data) Since these operations do not modify the caller-provided @*data, this type is worthy of a dedicated typedef: typedef int (*device_match_t)(struct device *dev, const void *data) Advantages of using device_match_t: - Shorter API declarations and definitions - Prevent further APIs from using a bad type for @match So introduce device_match_t and apply it to the existing (bus|class|driver|auxiliary)_find_device() APIs.
