[PATCH v3 01/18] platform: delay OF device-driver matches until late_initcall

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Delay matches of platform devices with OF nodes until late_initcall,
when we are sure that all built-in drivers have been registered already.
This is needed to prevent deferred probes because of some drivers not
having registered yet.

The reason why only platform devices are delayed is that some other
devices are expected to be probed earlier than late_initcall, for
example, the system PNP driver needs to probe its devices in
fs_initcall.

Additionally, only platform devices with OF nodes are delayed because
some machines may depend on oter platform devices being registered at
specific times.

Changes in v3:
- Only delay platform devices with OF nodes

Changes in v2:
- Move delay to platform.c
