Not necessarily. of_platform_bus_probe() is an optional facility that is
common used by SoCs that have lots of otherwise non-probable on chip
devices, but for platforms with more classic setups, it's totally
acceptable to have the platform code explicitely register only those
devices it wants exposed.
