I wasn't clear if you still could use the testing so I did re-run my
test.  This patch adds back some of the missing properties, but the
the kobject names aren't set as dev_name() returns NULL:

* without this patch some of_node properties don't show up in sysfs:
root@arria10:~# ls
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/altera_freeze_br/ff200450.\<NULL\>/of_node
clocks            compatible        interrupt-parent  interrupts        reg

* with this patch, the of_node properties phandle and name are back:
root@arria10:~#  ls
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/altera_freeze_br/ff200450.\<NULL\>/of_node
clocks            compatible        interrupt-parent  interrupts
 name              phandle           reg

root@arria10:~# cat
/sys/bus/platform/drivers/altera_freeze_br/ff200450.\<NULL\>/of_node/name
freeze_controllerroot@arria10:~#  ("freeze_controller" w/o the \n so
the name is correct)

* with or without the patch I see the behavior I reported yesterday,
kobj names are NULL.
root@arria10:~# ls /sys/bus/platform/drivers/altera_freeze_br/
bind             ff200450.<NULL>  uevent           unbind

root@arria10:~# ls /sys/bus/platform/drivers/altera_gpio/
bind             ff200010.<NULL>  ff200020.<NULL>  ff200030.<NULL>
uevent           unbind
