[PATCH 6.1 157/280] of: platform: Use default match table for /firmware

From: Rob Herring (Arm) <robh@kernel.org>

commit 48e6a9c4a20870e09f85ff1a3628275d6bce31c0 upstream.

Calling of_platform_populate() without a match table will only populate
the immediate child nodes under /firmware. This is usually fine, but in
the case of something like a "simple-mfd" node such as
"raspberrypi,bcm2835-firmware", those child nodes will not be populated.
And subsequent calls won't work either because the /firmware node is
marked as processed already.

Switch the call to of_platform_default_populate() to solve this problem.
It should be a nop for existing cases.
