[PATCH/RFC] treewide: Fix instantiation of devices in DT overlay

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

When loading a DT overlay that creates a device, the device is not
instantiated, unless the DT overlay is unloaded and reloaded again.

Saravana explains:
  Basically for all overlays (I hope the function is only used for
  overlays) we assume all nodes are NOT devices until they actually
  get added as a device. Don't review the code, it's not meant to be :)

Based on a hacky patch by Saravana Kannan, which covered only platform
and spi devices.

Fixes: 4a032827daa89350 ("of: property: Simplify of_link_to_phandle()")

Marked RFC as Saravana said this is an ugly hack.
Still, this is a regression in v6.3-rc1 that should be fixed.
