I did review the whole series on version v4... The whole thing seems
pretty hacky to me. OTOH, I don't know if there's an elegant solution
to this problem. This also tries to be a general solution for what's
largely an earlycon (which is, news flash, a debug tool) and displays
for which we already address at least some of this with simplefb (not
that it is a great solution either). I've yet to hear of any other
concrete uses for this.

The drivers/of/ changes on their own are innocent enough if there's a
reason (We generally want users using of_platform_populate rather than
of_platform_bus_create, so that's why it's not exported now.). It's
really all the rest that concerns me.
