[ Upstream commit cc4332afb5631b0e9d2ce5699b7f4b7caf743526 ]

The function Device::from_raw() increments a refcount by a call to
bindings::get_device(ptr). This can be confused because usually
from_raw() functions don't increment a refcount.
Hence, rename Device::from_raw() to avoid confuion with other "from_raw"
semantics.

The new name of function should be "get_device" to be consistent with
the function get_device() already exist in .c files.

This function body also changed, because the `into()` will convert the
`&amp;'a Device` into `ARef&lt;Device&gt;` and also call `inc_ref` from the
`AlwaysRefCounted` trait implemented for Device.

<title>firmware_loader: fix soundness issue in `request_internal`</title>

`request_internal` must be called with one of the following function
pointers: request_firmware(), firmware_request_nowarn(),
firmware_request_platform() or request_firmware_direct().

The previous `FwFunc` alias did not guarantee this, which is unsound.

In order to fix this up, implement `FwFunc` as new type with a
corresponding type invariant.

<title>firmware_loader: annotate doctests as `no_run`</title>

The doctests of `Firmware` are compile-time only tests, since they
require a proper `Device` and a valid path to a (firmware) blob in order
to do something sane on runtime - we can't satisfy both of those
requirements.

Hence, configure the example as `no_run`.

Unfortunately, the kernel's Rust build system can't consider the
`no_run` attribute yet. Hence, for the meantime, wrap the example code
into a new function and never actually call it.

Add an abstraction around the kernels firmware API to request firmware
images. The abstraction provides functions to access the firmware's size
and backing buffer.

The firmware is released once the abstraction instance is dropped.
