I have to say I'm still not 100% clear that special casing platform
devices makes sense here - I can see that platform devices are usually
the first devices to instantiate but there are other kinds of devices
and it's not obvious what the benefit of specifically picking out
platform devices as opposed to just deferring all devices is.
