We've moved to probe pretty much everything at normal module_init time
instead of trying to probe everything early. Only clocks and system timers
need to be probed early for the omap variants.

One of the reasons for the device drivers probing later on during the boot
is caused by drivers/bus/ti-sysc.c. As ti-sysc is the parent device on the
interconnect, none of it's child devices probe before it. And there should
not be any need to probe ti-sysc early. The total boot-up time should be
about the same, just the probe order has changed. If there are issues with
the boot-up time in general, then that's a bug.

Maybe you want to configure the watchdog in the bootloader initially until
the Linux device drivers get probed?
