Hi Grant,

In fact this patch is not working for build without CONFIG_OF like x86.

Because if CONFIG_OF_DEVICE is not defined, then the stub for 
of_platform_populate will not be defined either. It should exist for any 
config without CONFIG_OF.

Building twl4030 for x86 is actually broken.

All twl is broken.  i386 allmodconfig with this monring's linux-next:

drivers/mfd/twl-core.c: In function 'twl_probe':
