When devices are enabled with a device tree overlay the newly enabled
devices can be probed by doing a of_probe(). This works fine for the
regular platform devices, but doesn't work for devices which are not
probed by the core, but by the subsystem. Prominent examples are I2C or
SPI devices.
This patch adds a struct device::rescan hook that subsystems can
implement to trigger rescanning the device nodes.
