The component framework only provides 'bind' and 'unbind' callbacks to
tell the host driver that it is time to assemble the aggregate driver
now that all the components have probed. The component framework doesn't
attempt to resolve runtime PM or suspend/resume ordering, and explicitly
mentions this in the code. This lack of support leads to some pretty
gnarly usages of the 'prepare' and 'complete' power management hooks in
drivers that host the aggregate device, and it fully breaks down when
faced with ordering shutdown between the various components, the
aggregate driver, and the host driver that registers the whole thing.

In a concrete example, the MSM display driver at drivers/gpu/drm/msm is
using 'prepare' and 'complete' to call the drm helpers
drm_mode_config_helper_suspend() and drm_mode_config_helper_resume()
respectively, so that it can move the aggregate driver suspend/resume
callbacks to be before and after the components that make up the drm
device call any suspend/resume hooks they have. This only works as long
as the component devices don't do anything in their own 'prepare' and
'complete' callbacks. If they did, then the ordering would be incorrect
and we would be doing something in the component drivers before the
aggregate driver could do anything. Yuck!

Similarly, when trying to add shutdown support to the MSM driver we run
across a problem where we're trying to shutdown the drm device via
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown(), but some of the devices in the encoder
chain have already been shutdown. This time, the component devices
aren't the problem (although they could be if they did anything in their
shutdown callbacks), but there's a DSI to eDP bridge in the encoder
chain that has already been shutdown before the driver hosting the
aggregate device runs shutdown. The ordering of driver probe is like
this:

 1. msm_pdev_probe() (host driver)
 2. DSI bridge
 3. aggregate bind

When it comes to shutdown we have this order:

 1. DSI bridge
 2. msm_pdev_shutdown() (host driver)

and so the bridge is already off, but we want to communicate to it to
turn things off on the display during msm_pdev_shutdown(). Double yuck!
Unfortunately, this time we can't split shutdown into multiple phases
and swap msm_pdev_shutdown() with the DSI bridge.

Let's make the component_master_ops into an actual device driver that has
probe/remove/shutdown functions. The driver will only be bound to the
aggregate device once all component drivers have called component_add()
to indicate they're ready to assemble the aggregate driver. This allows
us to attach shutdown logic (and in the future runtime PM logic) to the
aggregate driver so that it runs the hooks in the correct order.

There can be one driver and multiple aggregate devices attached to that
driver. This happens for the MediaTek SMMU (IOMMU) code that has two
aggregate devices.

We need a bus to have a driver and attach power management operations
and a shutdown hook to that driver that knows about the entire graphics
card/encoder chain. Otherwise there's not a good place to insert the
function call that walks the display hardware and shuts down devices,
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown(). We have a problem where an i2c device for
a display bridge can't be turned off because we've already shut down the
whole i2c bus before we call drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() due to the
platform device that calls it probing far before the i2c bridge probes.

Could we attach a shutdown hook and dev_pm_ops to the drm class
structure and then have some DRM API that lets us opt into using the
simple shutdown helper? That would avoid making yet another bus and
driver as my high level understanding of 'struct class drm_class' is
that it represents the graphics card and it isn't created until the
entire display pipeline devices have probed and checked in with the
component layer.

What are the next steps here? Do I need to document the component code
further in kernel-doc? I can add kernel-doc for the things like
component_match_array and aggregate_device structure and highlight how
it is different from the aux bus.
