The fsl/fman drivers will use of_platform_populate() on all
supported platforms.

It seems that this creates a failure point between patches #2 and
#3.  If the cases handled by this "fsl,fman" entry are only afterwards
covered by the of_platform_populate() code added in patch #3 then you
cannot split these two changes up like this.

The two changes must be done at the same time, otherwise probing will
fail for some people between patches #2 and #3.

You are right, that will happen. I was not convinced these need to be
merged due to the different places they touch. I'll send a v3.
