    EDAC, mpc85xx: Make mpc85xx-pci-edac a platform device · 666db563

    Originally the mpc85xx-pci-edac driver bound directly to the PCI
    controller node.

     ("powerpc/fsl-pci: Unify pci/pcie initialization code")
    
    turned the PCI controller code into a platform device. Since we can't
    have two drivers binding to the same device, the EDAC code was changed
    to be called into as a library-style submodule. However, this doesn't
    work if the EDAC driver is built as a module.
    
    Commit
    
      8d8fcba6d1ea ("EDAC: Rip out the edac_subsys reference counting")
    
    exposed another problem with this approach -- mpc85xx_pci_err_probe()
    was being called in the same early boot phase that the PCI controller
    is initialized, rather than in the device_initcall phase that the EDAC
    layer expects. This caused a crash on boot.
    
    To fix this, the PCI controller code now creates a child platform device
    specifically for EDAC, which the mpc85xx-pci-edac driver binds to.
