take lpss scan handler and 80860F0A device for example,
acpi_lpss_create_device() would invoke lpss_uart_setup() first and then
register 80860F0A as a platform device.
if the lpss scan handler is compiled out, we would do nothing but
register a platform device directly, thus the dw8250_platform_driver
driver is still loaded, but probably breaks.

IMO, we should either have a full functional platform device (if the
scan handler is compiled in) or nothing (if the scan handler is compiled
out).
