I don't understand any of this. We should be making a specific tsens
device directly in the gcc driver probe and not doing any sort of
of_platform_populate(). This is what I had, but it probably could be
done better so that we can assign the struct device's of_node pointer
before registering on the platform bus.

        platform_device_register_data(&pdev->dev, "tsens8960-tm", -1,
                        &pdev->dev.of_node, sizeof(&pdev->dev.of_node));

Then if we need to add any properties like #sensor-cells or coefficients
the tsens driver can use the same of_node that gcc is using.
