I missed it, thanks for pointing out.

If the pwrctrl driver is available at the time of platform device creation, this
is not needed. But if the driver is not available at that time and probed
later, then we need to rescan the bus to enumerate the devices. This is pretty
much needed for platforms lacking hotplug support (most of the DT ones).

Thanks a lot for your inputs too!
