Not sure about mfd, but I want to make sure we don't confuse busses
(which are typically added to a class) with these "simple bus" devices
that are added to platform_bus. Also if these other buses are actually
causing an issue, then then should implement their own stub driver or
use try patch[2] if they are added to classes (devices on classes
don't probe)

Right, and if they are platform devices that are equivalent to
simple-bus (meaning, they don't do anything in Linux and just have
their devices populated) we can add those to this list too.

But this doesn't affect simple-mfd though.

Not needed? If CONFIG_ARM_AMBA isn't enabled, the device wouldn't be
created in the first place.

I wanted this table to be expandable as needed. That's why I'm
intentionally not using of_default_bus_match_table[].

They are not treated the same way.
