This can be shared for drm/etnaviv in the future,

currently, we just need an opportunity to use this function.

I want to create a dummy platform device,

let this dummy platform be bound to the single PCI GPU master.


etnaviv_create_platform_device("dummy", &dummy_device);


1) To verify the component code path on PCI case.

2) Possibly for create a device for some other tiny hardware logic
come with the platform

3) Revival component_compare_dev_name() function.
