Will remove.

That is otherwise fine, but with the match code it not possible to 
implement a master that may not have any components.

Would it be Ok to add a check that master->ops->add_components is 
defined, before calling it in find_componets() 
(drivers/base/component.c:120) and return 0 if it is not?
