Can you please help me understand why zynqmp_r5_remoteproc_probe()
invokes devm_of_platform_populate() to create platform_device instances
for the clusters?

Why can't the platform_device for the cluster be used as parent for both
remoteprocs and then the driver deal with the subnodes within the
driver?
