This creates platform devices for the children of child, but what about platform
device for the child itself?

e.g. This fails to create the NOR device and instead starts creating children for
NOR partitions instead.

What bus device are you using. Shouldn't the bus driver for that bus be responsible
for spawning children of its bus?
