[RFC] treewide: Fix instantiation of devices in DT overlays
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.

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