I'm not convinced we should even support this. There's a limited
number of AMBA devices. They would almost certainly be on-chip and
static. I suppose in theory you could have them in an FPGA, but
generally the FPGA vendors have their own IP blocks and don't use ARM
Primecell IP. So what is the usecase?

Your author and S-o-b emails should match.

I would prefer we add (or change the platform device version) an
of_find_device_by_node which can be extended to different bus types.

An amba_device can't ever have a parent that's an amba_device. The
parent of an amba_device is typically a platform_device for a
'simple-bus'.

This all pretty much duplicates what of_platform_bus_create() does and
we should use it here rather than have another copy. Plus what about
handling of any child devices (in the platform device case).

With the above suggested function returning a struct device for the
node, you can get rid of the if {} else {}.
