Are you referring to 02bbde7849e6 (Revert "of: use
platform_device_add")? That one seems to be in registration path, and
this crash is in the unregistration path. If so, to fix the crash,
should we be skipping the release_resource() for now in
platform_device_del for DT nodes, or replace platform_device_unregister
with of_device_unregister in of_platform_device_destroy()?
This is a common crash and we cannot use of_platform_depopulate() today
in drivers to complement of_platform_populate().
Also, the platform_data crash is independent of this, I could reproduce
that one even with using of_device_unregister in a loop in driver remove.
