"Also" is indication you mix up two independent commits.

This should be separate commit. Another problem is that driver does not
populate the bus, so calling of_platform_depopulate() feels not only
heavily confusing but actually wrong. Commit msg should explain why it
is correct, in your opinion. IMO, it might be not right since we never
set the OF_POPULATED_BUS flag.

How did you test it?
