mfd: Add mfd_clone_cell(), convert cs5535-mfd/olpc-xo1 to it
Replace mfd_shared_platform_driver_register with mfd_clone_cell. The former was called by an mfd client, and registered both a platform driver and device. The latter is called by an mfd driver, and registers only a platform device. The downside of this is that mfd drivers need to be modified whenever new clients are added that share a cell; the upside is that it fits Linux's driver model better. It's also simpler. This also converts cs5535-mfd/olpc-xo1 from the old API. cs5535-mfd now creates the olpc-xo1-{acpi,pms} devices, while olpc-xo1 binds to them via platform drivers.
