Re: [PATCH v2] treewide: Fix instantiation of devices in DT overlays

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.

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