This and of_device_alloc are pretty much only powerpc functions, so I 
want things to break if there are new users. There's one user of 
of_device_alloc() and a couple for of_platform_bus_probe() which is 
deprecated in favor of of_platform_populate(). I think we can get rid of 
the remaining x86 callers.

(I have the same opinion on of_platform_device_create too, but I've 
given up on that).
