Right, and this is a design pattern that I've been bitten by several
times by now. There's no real purpose of spinning up platform_devices
for those nodes.

I missed the fact that we don't associate either the rproc or the rproc
device with the of_node, but rather just rely on the fact that
rproc->dev->parent->of_node is typically is the handle we're looking
for.

And I don't think we'll return the first instance, because
rproc->dev->parent->of_node will never match the instance's of_node.


I think it would be cleaner to add a of_node to struct rproc and use
this for matching.

And I do suggest that we don't of_platform_populate() in the TI driver.
If nothing else, doing so saves ~2kb of wasted RAM...

Doing so also has the added benefit that we don't add an implicitly
requirement on the rproc-device's parent being a platform_driver.
