Correction. It only considers devices. As in, devices on all types of
busses are supported.

It'd still be nice if you could (maybe in a later patch), at least
probe all the power domains that aren't really needed this early.
Using the driver core framework (when it's possible), gives you nice
things :)

+Rob. I know he hates people using OF_POPULATED, but I think this case
is reasonable and want to make sure he's aware of this.

Once you fix my commit nitpick, you can add:
