It's an awkward thing.  B4 doesn't work because Markus was banned from
LKML because he doesn't listen to feedback.

For example, Markus has been told to use 12 char shas several times
before.

There is a bug here because the resources are not freed if
of_platform_populate() fails.  The "info" struct is devm_ allocated but
it's still on the &ti_sci_list list, so that will lead to a use after
free.
