Instead of trying to match and probe platform and AMBA devices right after each is registered, delay their probes until device_initcall_sync. This means that devices will start probing once all built-in drivers have registered, and after all platform and AMBA devices from the DT have been registered already. This allows us to prevent deferred probes by probing dependencies on demand.

This breaks arch/powerpc/sysdev/fsl_pci.c. The PCI bus is an OF platform device, and it must be probed before pcibios_init() which is a subsys_initcall(), or else the PCI bus never gets scanned. -Scott
