of_pci_make_dev_node() is only called when the relevant PCI device is
instantiated which doesn't happen until it's powered-up and scanned -
precisely the problem I'm trying to address.

Calling this for whomever isn't really a problem though, is it? We
will create a platform device alright - if it's defined on the DT -
and at worst it won't match against any driver. It seems harmless IMO.

I don't doubt what you're saying is true (I've seen worse things) but
this is the probe() callback of a driver using the driver model. Why
wouldn't devres work?
