    BTW, is it legal/appropriate to specify device (not bus) types 
for
of_platform_bus_probe()?

In almost all cases you should probe on "name"/"compatible",

   Probing on name is not a good idea, since those are mostly generic.

The OF standard tells you to probe on "name" before
probing on "compatible".  If the "name" in a certain
node is generic, that doesn't harm at all, since you
probe for the more specific names only.

and not use "device_type" at all.

   Heh, SPARC device trees I saw seem to not have this "useless" prop 
at all. :-)

Well they have it in the nodes for which they _should_
have it, but not anywhere else no.
