Hi Dmitry,

I've since looked at the problem more, and I've been working on
refactoring both of_platform_bus_probe(), and creating a new function,
of_platform_populate(), which implements the symantics that I think
are needed for your use case.  The work isn't done yet, but it has
gone out for at least one round of review, and I hope to get it into
the 3.1 merge window.
