This patch populates the platform from the device tree into two steps:
the first step creates the nodes that are referenced by a phandle,
the second step creates the other nodes.
This permits to reduce the number of PROBE_DEFERs.

A better way to reduce probe deferral could be sorting the nodes
according to their phandle level in the DT blob at compilation time ...
