[PATCH 1/3] of: platform: call struct device::detect in of_device_create_on_demand

[Ahmad Fatoum]

Most devices featuring a detect callback use it to probe an underlying
bus. However, of_device_create_on_demand so far created devices on the
platform bus, ignoring that it might be e.g. an I2C device that's
supposed to be crated by the parent controller.

Fix this by calling the parent's detect callback if available. Busses
that probe via device tree, but register their devices on a different
bus will need to register a detect callback to benefit from this.
