[PATCH RFC PoC 2/2] misc: implement a dummy early platform driver

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski at baylibre.com>

Implement a very simple early platform driver. Its purpose is to show
how such drivers can be registered and to emit a message when probed.

It can be then added to the device tree or machine code to verify that
the early platform devices work as expected.
