Subject: [PATCH v2 0/2] Introduce devm_of_platform_populate() helper

version 2:
- simplify function prototype to only keep device as parameter
- rebased on v4.10

Lots of calls to of_platform_populate() are not unbalanced by a call
to of_platform_depopulate(). This create issues while drivers are
bind/unbind.
    
In way to solve those issues is to add devm_of_platform_populate()
which will call of_platform_depopulate() when the device is unbound
from the bus. This also could make drivers more robust in case that
probe failed after calling of_platform_populate().

Benjamin Gaignard (2):
  of: add devm_ functions for populate and depopulate
  drm: sti: make driver use devm_of_platform_populate()
