[PATCH v3 0/3] at91: Remove of_platform_default_populate() calls

This is another attempt at removing of_platform_default_populate() calls
on at91 platforms. The last attempts were in 2018[1] and 2023[2]. The
problems reported are PM and NAND failures. Both of these depend on SRAM
pool which doesn't have any fw_devlink tracking. Also, the PM code is
not a driver, so fw_devlink wouldn't help. For the NAND driver, we can
simply defer probe. For the PM init, we can move it to the .late_init
hook.
