Just had a quick look at board-ams-delta.c and you don't have a single
device setting pdev->id to PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO. It's either set to
PLATFORM_DEVID_NONE (-1) or assigned a specific id, so the problem does
not exist, really. Just set the name .dev_id to the appropriate value
at declaration time and register the lookup tables before registering
the pdevs.
