OMAP: omap_device: add omap_device_is_valid()
The omap_device struct contains a 'struct platform_device'. Normally, converting a platform_device pointer to an omap_device pointer consists of simply doing a container_of(), as is done currently by the to_omap_device() macro. However, if this is attempted when using platform_device that has not been created as part of the omap_device creation, the container_of() will point to a memory location before the platform_device pointer which will contain random data. Therefore, we need a way to detect valid omap_device pointers. This patch solves this by using the simple magic number approach.
