This creates a confusing mix of match table entries: Normally,
all entries in the match table are meant to identify child buses,
but if I read your patch correctly, you now also need to match
on the amba devices themselves, including the creation of
platform devices for each child device node under an amba
device.

I don't think that was the intention. Maybe we need to pass
two match tables into of_platform_bus_probe() instead:
one to identify the buses, and another one that is used
to create the actual devices.
