where IOMMU needs to be instanciated earlier than other device[1].
early_platform_device case still need to be covered.

Subject: [PATCH RFC 1/1] of: dev_node has struct device pointer

To prevent of_platform_populate() from trying to populate duplicate
devices if a device has been already populated.
