Thanks for your patch!

The above may become cleaner if:
  1. of_early_to_platform_device() would return NULL instead -ENOENT,
  2. of_device_alloc() would be split in alloc and init phases, too.

Then you can do:

        dev = of_node_check_flag(np, OF_POPULATED_EARLY)
                ? of_early_to_platform_device(np)
                 : __of_device_alloc(np, bus_id, parent);
        if (!dev)
                goto err_clear_flag;

        of_device_init(dev, np, bus_id, parent);
