Get rid of the global g_dev structure. This is part of an effort to address TODO item "Get rid of all non essential global structures and create a proper per device structure" I chose to pass the vchiq_instance around instead of the device reference because in order to get rid of the 'vchiq_states' global array in the future, we will need another way to access the vchiq_state in the 'handle_to_service' function. Therefore, we will need to pass the vchiq_instance to it (or the vchiq_state), and also pass it to functions higher up in the caller chain, such as 'vchiq_bulk_transmit' and friends which are used in the bcm2835-audio consumer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
