util/sconfig: Drop use of ref_count for chip_instance
chip_instance structure currently uses a ref_count to determine how many devices hold reference to that instance. If the count drops to zero, then it is assumed that the chip instance is a duplicate in override tree and has a similar instance that is already overriden in base device tree. ref_count is currently decremented whenever a device in override tree matches the one in base device tree and the registers from the override tree instance are copied over to the base tree instance. On the other hand, if a device in override tree does not match any device in base tree under a given parent, then the device is added to base tree and all the devices in its subtree that hold pointers to its parent chip instance are updated to point to the parent's chip instance in base tree. This is done as part of update_chip_pointers. However, there are a couple of issues that this suffers from: a) If a device is present only in override tree and it does not have its own chip (i.e. pointing to parent's chip instance), then it results in sconfig emiiting parent's chip instance (which can be the SoC chip instance) in static.c even though it is unused. This is because update_chip_pointers() does not call delete_chip_instance() before reassigning the chip instance pointer. b) If a device is added under root device only in the override tree and it does not have its own chip instance (i.e. uses SoC chip instance), then it results in sconfig emitting a copy of the SoC chip instance and setting that as chip_ops for this new device in the override tree. In order to fix the above issues, this change drops the ref_count field from chip_instance structure and instead adds a forwarding pointer `base_chip_instance`. This is setup as per the following rules: 1. If the instance belongs to base devicetree, base_chip_instance is set to NULL. 2. If the instance belongs to override tree, then it is set to its corresponding chip instance in base tree (if present), else set to NULL. State of base_chip_instance is then used when emitting chips and devices using the following rules: 1. If a chip_instance has non-NULL base_chip_instance, then that chip instance is not emitted to static.c 2. When emitting chip_ops for a device, base_chip_instance is used to determine the correct chip instance name to emit. BUG=b:155549176 TEST=Verified that the static.c file generated for base/override tree combination is correct when new devices without chips are added only to override tree.
