It looks like most of your prep patches are to separate the alloc and
init of platform devices because you are essentially making early
devices/drivers a sub-class. Maybe you could avoid doing that and
simplify things a bit. Comments below based on doing that...

Couldn't you use an existing list in driver_private until you move
over to the normal bus infra.

Just add this to platform_driver.

Use a list in device_private?

Can't you use the existing deferred probe list?
