[PATCH v1] drivers: of: register DT root as device

[PATCH v1] drivers: of: register DT root as device

[Oleksij Rempel]

A usual board file contains at least one of_machine_is_compatible().
Some of the have a rather ling list with complicated version logic.

To avoid own implementation for driver management, register the root node
of devicetree as platform device. So, the main platform bus can attach
proper board driver. After this patch a typical board.c file can reuse
existing driver infrastructure.
