Subject: [PATCH 07/33] platform: Define platform_device_put cleanup handler

Define a cleanup helper for use with __free to destroy platform devices
automatically when the pointer goes out of scope. This is only intended to
be used in error cases and so should be used with return_ptr() or
no_free_ptr() directly to avoid the automatic destruction on success.

A first use of this is introduced in a subsequent commit.
