Subject: [PATCH 10/18] bus: mhi: core: Introduce APIs to allocate and free the MHI controller

From: Bhaumik Bhatt <bbhatt@...eaurora.org>

Client devices should use the APIs provided to allocate and free
the MHI controller structure. This will help ensure that the
structure is zero-initialized and there are no false positives
with respect to reading any values such as the serial number or
the OEM PK hash.
