How can we get to amba_probe() if amba_match() has not returned a
positive match for an ID? Surely if that happens, the driver model
is failed - since a probe function should not be called unless the
driver matches the device.

This patch, and 9229/1 both feel like they're working around some
brokenness elsewhere in the kernel.

The description in 9229/1, specifically "But not all drivers have .match
hook, such as pl031, the dev->bus->probe will be called directly in
__driver_attach()." AMBA drivers do not have a .match hook - the bus
does, which all AMBA drivers must be a member of. If amba_match fails,
there is no way that amba_probe() should ever be called.
