[PATCH 04/12] platform: provide a separate function for initializing platform devices

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bgolaszewski at baylibre.com>

The early platform driver framework will allocate platform devices
using its own internal mechanisms. Provide a function that allows to
initialize a platform device object without allocating it.
