Matching by ID is just one aspect of PCI. AMBA devices require defining
the base address and irq just like platform devices. Having the ID is
optional on AMBA buses. In PCI the bus and devices are probe-able. For
AMBA, the bus is not probe-able, only the devices (or maybe not).

I believe OMAP is doing clock and power mgt at the bus level for
platform devices.
