[PATCH] Remove struct bus_type->add()

I recently went looking for users of the add() method in struct
bus_type, only to discover that there are none.  A query to Pat
confirmed that it is surplus and should come out.  So here's a patch
that does it.

While I was at it, I updated Documentation/driver-model/bus.txt to at
least get rid of the blatantly untrue stuff; it is still rather far from
being up to date, however.  I may be able to fix that later on.

add(): Adding a child device
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The add callback is available to notify the bus about a child device
at a particular location.
The parent parameter is the parent device of the child to be added. If
parent == NULL, the bus should add the device as a child of a default
parent device or as a child of the root. This policy decision is up to
the bus driver.
The format of the bus_id field should be consistent with the format of
the bus_id field of the rest of the devices on the bus. This requires
the caller to know the format.
On return, the bus driver should return a pointer to the device that
was created. If the device was not created, the bus driver should
return an appropriate error code. Refer to include/linux/err.h for
helper functions to encode errors. Some sample code:
struct device * pci_bus_add(struct device * parent, char * bus_id)
{
...
/* the device already exists */
return ERR_PTR(-EEXIST);
...
}
The caller can check the return value using IS_ERR():
struct device * newdev = pci_bus_type.add(parent,bus_id);
if (IS_ERR(newdev)) {
...
}
