pcmcia: add new CIS access helpers

As a replacement to pcmcia_get_{first,next}_tuple() and
pcmcia_get_tuple_data(), three new -- and easier to use --
functions are added:

- pcmcia_get_tuple() to get the very first CIS entry of one
  type.

- pcmcia_loop_tuple() to loop over all CIS entries of one type.

- pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis() to read out the hardware MAC address
  from CISTPL_FUNCE.

Only a handful of drivers need these functions anyway, as most
CIS access is already handled by pcmcia_loop_config(), which
now shares the same backed (pccard_loop_tuple()) with
pcmcia_loop_tuple().

A pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis() bug noted by Komuro
<[email protected]> has been fixed in this revision.

This file details changes in 2.6 which affect PCMCIA card driver authors:
* New CIS tuple access (as of 2.6.33)
Instead of pcmcia_get_{first,next}_tuple(), pcmcia_get_tuple_data() and
pcmcia_parse_tuple(), a driver shall use "pcmcia_get_tuple()" if it is
only interested in one (raw) tuple, or "pcmcia_loop_tuple()" if it is
interested in all tuples of one type. To decode the MAC from CISTPL_FUNCE,
a new helper "pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis()" was added.
* New configuration loop helper (as of 2.6.28)
By calling pcmcia_loop_config(), a driver can iterate over all available
configuration options. During a driver's probe() phase, one doesn't need
