So I would have ... Sorry this is wrong. The above will always match the early driver. The problem with the above compatibility string is that, if the platform driver matches "gic-400" then it will try to probe all gic-400s even if they have been initialised early and this is definitely not what we want. This could be solved by setting the OF_POPULATED flag.
