Currently zdev supports the configuration and maintenance of one single
persistent device state. With the introduction of sites, zdev should be
able to store, configure and maintaine NUM_SITES number of states in
the persistent configuration. This patch modifies the struct device and
adds a new site_specific device_state array, which stores the
persistent configuration for all the available sites.
Total number of available sites are configured with NUM_SITES. Where,
10 site-specific configurations and 1 common configuration.
1. during read, all site data is always read and update the
site_specific[] array.
2. dev->persistent is a copy of dev->site_specific[global_site_id]
3. modifications are only done on dev->persistent, and during write
dev->persistent overlays dev->site_specific[global_site_id]
