When loading a DT overlay that creates a device, the device is not instantiated, unless the DT overlay is unloaded and reloaded again. Saravana explains: Basically for all overlays (I hope the function is only used for overlays) we assume all nodes are NOT devices until they actually get added as a device. Based on a patch by Saravana Kannan, which covered only platform and spi devices.
