Actually, I think it would be much better to convert the code to be more
like of_platform_device, or to even replace all of ibmebus with that.
The whole logic of dynamically adding and removing device is rather bogus,
and it prevents autoloading of device drivers. of_platform_make_bus_id
is the function that is responsible for creating unique names over there.
