drivers/base: fix corrupt device tree
dev_add_child is a very unsafe function. If called multiple times
it allows setting the same device to different parents thus corrupting
the siblings list. This happens regularly since:

| bus: add bus device
|
| automatically add it as parent of any bus device if none already specified
|
| we have now a nice output per bus
If for example a FATfs is mounted this nice output per bus often ends with:

This patch fixes this by adding a device to its parents children list in
register_device so that dev_add_child is no longer needed. This function
is removed from the tree. Now callers of register_device have to clearly
set the parent *before* registering a device.
