Why the extra check? of_platform_populate() is almost a no-op if there
aren't any children anyway. What it will do is set the OF_POPULATED_BUS
flag, but I think we want that irrespective of whether or not there are
any children.

Was there any problem with calling it unconditionally that made you opt
for the extra check?
I have not tested calling it unconditionally. Used another driver as
reference and they had that condition (drivers/bus/imx-weim.c), that
driver does not mention why the condition is there. But will test
removing the condition and see what happens.
If that works fine for Tegra, it might be a good idea to get rid of the
call in the imx-weim.c driver, too.

You're header comment says GPL version 2, which means that the
MODULE_LICENSE needs to be "GPL v2". "GPL" means "version 2 or later".
Ok, I do not really mind it being GPL version 2 or later so will
change the header comment instead if that is ok.
I think "GPL v2" is traditionally more common in kernel code, but as the
author the decision is obviously yours.
