of_probe may be called more than once, e.g. after oftree -p or by board
code after fixing up device tree. This currently leads to a harmless,
but annoying error message about machine already being registered.

Avoid this by creating the device only once.

Most comments are probably from the initial Linux port. Fix some
discrepancies and add docs for barebox-specific of_probe.
