component: Add documentation



While typing these I think doing an s/component_master/aggregate/
would be useful:
- it's shorter :-)
- I think component/aggregate is much more meaningful naming than
  component/puppetmaster or something like that. At least to my
  English ear "aggregate" emphasizes much more the "assemble a pile of
  things into something bigger" aspect, and there's not really much
  of a control hierarchy between aggregate and constituing components.

But that's way more than a quick doc typing exercise ...

Thanks to Ram for commenting on an initial draft of these docs.

v2: Review from Rafael:
- git add Documenation/driver-api/component.rst
- lots of polish to the wording + spelling fixes.

v3: Review from Russell:
- s/framework/helper
- clarify the documentation for component_match_add functions.

v4: Remove a few superflous "This".

/**
 * DOC: overview
 *
 * The component helper allows drivers to collect a pile of sub-devices,
 * including their bound drivers, into an aggregate driver. Various subsystems
 * already provide functions to get hold of such components, e.g.
 * of_clk_get_by_name(). The component helper can be used when such a
 * subsystem-specific way to find a device is not available: The component
 * helper fills the niche of aggregate drivers for specific hardware, where
 * further standardization into a subsystem would not be practical. The common
 * example is when a logical device (e.g. a DRM display driver) is spread around
 * the SoC on various component (scanout engines, blending blocks, transcoders
 * for various outputs and so on).
 *
 * The component helper also doesn't solve runtime dependencies, e.g. for system
 * suspend and resume operations. See also :ref:`device links<device_link>`.
 *
 * Components are registered using component_add() and unregistered with
 * component_del(), usually from the driver's probe and disconnect functions.
 *
 * Aggregate drivers first assemble a component match list of what they need
 * using component_match_add(). This is then registered as an aggregate driver
 * using component_master_add_with_match(), and unregistered using
 * component_master_del().
