If soc_device_register() is called before soc_bus_register(), it crashes with a NULL pointer dereference. soc_bus_register() is already a core_initcall(), but drivers/base/ is entered later than e.g. drivers/pinctrl/ and drivers/soc/. Hence there are several subsystems that may need to know SoC revision information, while it's not so easy to initialize the SoC bus even earlier using an initcall. To fix this, let soc_device_register() register the bus early if that hasn't happened yet.
