The issue was that devm will only clean up the resources if the device
was bound to a driver so we were exhausting resources when running
dozens of test in a sequence.

The way I solved it for vc4 was to create a dumb platform driver with a
waitqueue, and wait for probe to be called.

I think we could make it more generic by allowing a pointer to a probe
function and calling it into our own probe implementation. What do you
think?
