version 2: - simplify function prototype to only keep device as parameter - rebased on v4.10
Lots of calls to of_platform_populate() are not unbalanced by a call to of_platform_depopulate(). This create issues while drivers are bind/unbind.
In way to solve those issues is to add devm_of_platform_populate() which will call of_platform_depopulate() when the device is unbound from the bus. This also could make drivers more robust in case that probe failed after calling of_platform_populate().
Benjamin Gaignard (2): of: add devm_ functions for populate and depopulate drm: sti: make driver use devm_of_platform_populate()
