As suggested by Marc Z, only timers and IPIs need to be probed early.
Everything else needs to be a platform device. The devlink feature of
Linux DD framework ensures that platform devices are probed in the
right order based on the interdependency.
The PATCH5 of the v7 AIA series converts the PLIC driver into a
platform driver. This works perfectly fine.
