Subject: [PATCH V2 2/3] drivers: base: add coredump driver ops

This adds the coredump driver operation. When the driver defines it
a coredump file is added in the sysfs folder of the device upon
driver binding. The file is removed when the driver is unbound.
User-space can trigger a coredump for this device by echo'ing to
the coredump file. Instead of obtaining raw coredump data from
the driver it is left to the coredump driver operation to invoke
the devcoredump API as there are more ways to do that.
