Subject: [PATCH/RFC 0/16] m68k: Device model patches

This set of patches brings Amiga hardware support better in line with to the
Linux device model:
  - Add module alias support for Zorro drivers (not all drivers can
    benefit from this yet though, as some still use zorro_find_device()
    instead of struct zorro_driver),
  - Convert the various builtin Amiga hardware to the platform driver
    framework.

[01] platform: Make platform resources input parameters const
[02] m68k: amiga - Zorro bus modalias support
[03] m68k: amiga - Zorro host bridge platform device conversion
[04] m68k: amiga - Frame buffer platform device conversion
[05] m68k: amiga - Sound platform device conversion
[06] m68k: amiga - Floppy platform device conversion
[07] m68k: amiga - A3000 SCSI platform device conversion
[08] m68k: amiga - A4000T SCSI platform device conversion
[09] m68k: amiga - Amiga Gayle IDE platform device conversion
[10] m68k: amiga - Keyboard platform device conversion
[11] m68k: amiga - Mouse platform device conversion
[12] m68k: amiga - Serial port platform device conversion
[13] m68k: amiga - Parallel port platform device conversion
[14] rtc: Add an RTC driver for the Oki MSM6242
[15] rtc: Add an RTC driver for the Ricoh RP5C01
[16] m68k: amiga - RTC platform device conversion

Due to lack of hardware (only Amiga 4000 here), I couldn't test all drivers.
Especially the SCSI drivers could use some testing feedback.
The changes to most other drivers are fairly trivial.
Note that I removed all request_mem_region() calls for subregions of the Amiga
custom chips, as the drivers now bind to the platform device.

Thanks for your review comments (and other feedback, of course)!
