arch/sh/drivers/platform_early.c has a separate definition, and this
is intentional, cfr. commit 507fd01d53333387 ("drivers: move the early
platform device support to arch/sh"):
In order not to export internal drivers/base functions to arch code for
this temporary solution - copy the two needed routines for driver
matching from drivers/base/platform.c to arch/sh/drivers/platform_early.c.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert
