Subject: [PATCH 1/4] amba: Export amba_bustype

This patch is provided in the context of allowing the Coresight driver
subsystem to be loaded as modules.  Coresight uses amba_bus in its call
to bus_find_device() in of_coresight_get_endpoint_device() when
searching for a configurable endpoint device.  This patch allows
Coresight to reference amba_bustype when built as a module.

There was a prior patch submitted by Alex W. here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/19/811

But I can't tell its fate - presume simply delayed?

Coresight uses amba_bus in its call to bus_find_device() here:

https://lxr.missinglinkelectronics.com/linux/drivers/hwtracing/coresight/of_coresight.c#L51

Grepping for bus_type and EXPORT shows other busses exporting their
type, so I don't think this is the wrong approach.  If, OTOH, Coresight
needs to do something differently, please comment.
