That was one option I had thought about. I happened to put amba call 
first so I hit the issue. It's a bit fragile to require a certain 
calling order.

That's a bit of an orthogonal problem. In my case, all devices are 
created from the DT. This issue is scanning the devicetree multiple times.

That seems like a bad idea to me. It's fine with 1 other bus type, but 
if you had 10 others it would get messy.

Perhaps scanning the tree for buses first and then scanning for devices 
is a better solution.
