[PATCH 4/9] staging: fsl-mc: don't use devres api for refcounted objects

[<laurentiu.tudor@nxp.com>]

From: Laurentiu Tudor <laurentiu.tudor@nxp.com>

Mixing two memory management systems, in this case
managed device resource api and refcounted objects
is a bad idea. Lifetime of an object is controlled
by its refcount so allocating it with other apis
that have their own lifetime control is not ok.
Drop devm_*() apis in favor of plain allocations.

While at it, let's drop the slab cache for objects
until we actually have proof that it improves
performance. This allows for some code cleanup.
