But it worked before, right? So the difference is you have either added 
new devices which need setup or your firmware changed how devices are 
setup (or not setup). Certainly can't fix the latter case. You just need 
to be explicit about what you are doing to users.

It shouldn't. Those flags are for creating the devices (or not) and 
removing only devices of_platform_populate() created.

Shrug. Off hand, I'd say probably not, but am not certain.
