    sconfig: Add a new generic device type
    
    Add support for a basic generic device in the devicetree to bind to a
    device that does not have a specific bus, but may need to be described
    in tables for the operating system.  For instance some chips may have
    various GPIO connections that need described but do not fall under any
    other device.
    
    In order to support this export the basic 'scan_static_bus()' that can
    be used in a device_operations->scan_bus() method to scan for the generic
    devices.
    
    It has been possible to get a semi-generic device by using a fake PNP
    device, but that isn't really appropriate for many devices.
    
    Also Re-generate the shipped files for sconfig.  Use flex 2.6.0 to avoid
    everything being rewritten.  Clean up the local paths that leak into the
    generated configs.
