This last hunk isn't needed.

powerpc doesn't mark the root node with OF_POPULATED_BUS. If I set that
in of_platform_default_populate_init() then the overlays can be applied.

* Handle certain compatibles explicitly, since we don't want to create
I'm guessing this is wrong though, because I see bunch of powerpc specific code
calling of_platform_bus_probe() which will set the flag on the actual platform
bus nodes. Maybe we should just allow overlays to create devices at the root
node regardless? Of course, the flag doc says "platform bus created for
children" and if we never populated the root then that isn't entirely accurate.
Rob, can you point me in the right direction? Do we need to use simple-bus in
the test overlays and teach overlay code to populate that bus?
