dm: core: Allow uclasses to specify platdata for a device's children

In many cases the child platform data for a device's children is defined by
the uclass rather than the individual devices. For example, a SPI bus needs
to know the chip select and speed for each of its children. It makes sense
to allow this information to be defined the SPI uclass rather than each
individual driver.

If the device provides a size value for its child platdata, then use it.
Failng that, fall back to that provided by the uclass.
