When loading a DT overlay that creates a device, the device is not
instantiated, unless the DT overlay is unloaded and reloaded again.

Saravana explains:
  Basically for all overlays (I hope the function is only used for
  overlays) we assume all nodes are NOT devices until they actually
  get added as a device. Don't review the code, it's not meant to be :)

Based on a hacky patch by Saravana Kannan, which covered only platform
and spi devices.
