Platform device instances are created for the individual cores found
in the cluster, following the work done on TI's K3-R5[1].

That is exactly how things work for both K3-R5 and R5F architectures.
That said, if we use the cluster's platform device as parent of the
remote processors inside the cluster, function rproc_get_by_phandle()
will return the first remote processor it finds with a matching parent
rather than the remote processor referenced by the phandle parameter.
