SuperH is the only user of the current implementation of early platform
device support. We want to introduce a more robust approach to early
probing. As the first step - move all the current early platform code
to arch/sh.

In order not to export internal drivers/base functions to arch code for
this temporary solution - copy the two needed routines for driver
matching from drivers/base/platform.c to arch/sh/drivers/platform_early.c.

Also: call early_platform_cleanup() from subsys_initcall() so that it's
called after all early devices are probed.

The parts used on contemporary ARM/ARM64 Renesas SoCs look fine to me, so

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
