Geert Uytterhoeven 6e12db376b base: soc: Allow early registration of a single SoC device 
Commit 1da1b3628d ("base: soc: Early register bus when needed")
added support for early registration of SoC devices from a
core_initcall().  However, some drivers need to check the SoC revision
from an early_initcall(), which is even earlier.

A specific example is the Renesas R-Car SYSC driver, which manages PM
Domains and thus needs to be initialized from an early_initcall.
Preproduction versions of the R-Car H3 SoC have an additional power
area, which no longer exists on H3 ES2.0, so the R-Car SYSC driver needs
to check the exact SoC revision before instantiating a PM Domain for
that power area.

While registering the SoC bus and device, and using soc_device_match(),
from an early_initcall() do work, the "soc" directory and the "soc0"
file end up wrongly in the sysfs root, as the "bus" resp. "devices"
directories haven't been created yet.

To fix this, allow to register a single SoC device early on.
As long as the SoC bus isn't registered, soc_device_match() just
matches against this early device.
When the SoC bus is registered later, the early device is registered for
real.

Note that soc_device_register() returns NULL (no error, but also not a
valid pointer) when registering an early device.  Hence platform devices
cannot be instantiated as children of the "soc0" node representing an
early SoC device.  This should not be an issue, as that practice has
been deprecated for new platforms.

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
