of_platform_depopulate can lead to a kernel error when calling release_resource()

The reason is that it is trying to release a resource that was not allocated
via insert_resource()

of_platform_depopulate()
      of_platform_device_destroy()
        platform_device_unregister(platform_device *pdev)
	  platform_device_del(platform_device *pdev)
	    for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++)
	    	      release_resource()

of_platform_populate()
      ...
      	of_device_alloc()
	  pdev = platform_device_alloc()
	  # set pdev->resource, similar to platform_device_add_resources()
	  of_device_add(platform_device *pdev)
	    # similar to platform_device_add(), but note there's no
	    # insert_resource() in this path
	    device_add(&pdev->dev)

On this patchset:

base/platform has been fixed for an hypothetical condition where parent is
set but the platform is neither MEM or IO.

Then platform_device_alloc has been modified so it supports of and amba
devices.

Finally of_device_add has been modified to use platform_device_add().
