The mps2-tz boards use a data-driven structure to create the devices
that sit behind peripheral protection controllers. Currently the
functions which create these devices are passed an 'opaque' pointer
which is always the address within the machine struct of the device
to create, and some "all devices need this" information like irqs and
addresses.
If a specific device needs more information than this, it is
currently not possible to pass that through from the PPCInfo
data structure. Add support for passing an extra data parameter,
so that we can more flexibly handle the needs of specific
device types. To provide some type-safety we make this extra
parameter a pointer to a union (which initially has no members).
In particular, we would like to be able to indicate which of the
i2c controllers are for on-board devices only and which are
connected to the external 'shield' expansion port; a subsequent
patch will use this mechanism for that purpose.
