Well, when VAS is configured, init_vas_instance() expects the top level
"vas" debugfs dir to already be setup.

We could have each init_vas_instance() assume it is the first and
unconditionally call vas_init_dbgdir(). vas_init_dbgdir() could make
sure to initialize only once.

Or, we could make a separate pass countng "ibm,vas" nodes. If there are
none, skip both steps (dbgdir and registering platform driver).
