Re: [PATCH v4 1/4] dt: check root nodes for match on of_platform_populate

Why doesn't of_platform_populate just call of_platform_bus_create on the
root node? That should normally take care of matching all children.

of_platform_bus_create creates a device for the 'bus' node, where
of_platform_populate() creates children as direct children of the
'parent' device; which I think is the behaviour wanted here.

Also, of_platform_bus_create checks for a compatible property on the bus
node, whereas of_platform_populate does not, and should not.

Ok, makes sense.

Thanks,
