[PATCH v7 20/20] of/platform: Defer probes of registered devices

[Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu.vizoso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Instead of trying to match and probe platform and AMBA devices right
after each is registered, delay their probes until device_initcall_sync.

This means that devices will start probing once all built-in drivers
have registered, and after all platform and AMBA devices from the DT
have been registered already.

This allows us to prevent deferred probes by probing dependencies on
demand.

Changes in v7:
- Removed patch that moved deferred probe processing to
  device_initcall_sync, as it's not currently needed and can be applied
  later if we find any boards that fail to boot without this change.

Changes in v4:
- Also defer probes of AMBA devices registered from the DT as they can
  also request resources.
