We do have some stuff in there in order to handle MFDs - they'll
instantiate a Linux-internal virtual platform device as a child of the
DT device that represents the device as a whole.  We're definitely not
expecting to find anything for parentless platform devices though, it's
only done if the ASoC level device has no of_node and the parent does.
