When loading a DT overlay that creates a device, the device is not
instantiated, unless the DT overlay is unloaded and reloaded again.
Saravana explains:
Basically for all overlays (I hope the function is only used for
overlays) we assume all nodes are NOT devices until they actually
get added as a device.
Based on a patch by Saravana Kannan, which covered only platform and spi
devices.
