Subject: [RFC 03/12] of/platform: add of_platform_device_ensure()

This function ensures that the device that encloses the passed device
node is registered, and thus probed if the corresponding driver has been
registered already.

This function can be used by drivers to ensure that a dependency is
fulfilled.
