node = of_find_node_by_path("/soc@0");
if (!node)
return -ENODEV;
pdev = of_platform_device_create(node, "XXX", NULL);
if (!pdev)
return -ENODEV;
Cannot use of_platform_device_create because "of_node_test_and_set_flag(np, OF_POPULATED)" returns true.
of_platform_device_create is used to create platform device, but soc@0 is created by common code. I don't know how
to bind to the soc node. The way I did in v3 seems not bad, it can work correctly and support old DTBs. Can I keep this way?
