Subject: [PATCH] Move platform device creation earlier in the initialization

From: Corey Minyard <cminyard@...sta.com>

Some logs are printed out early using smi->dev, but on a platform device
that is not created until later.  So move the creation of that device
structure earlier in the sequence so it can be used for printing.

Corentin, can you try the attached patch?  It moves the platform device
allocation earlier, but I don't really want to actually add the platform
device until later.
