base/platform: Fix platform drivers with no probe callback

commit 25cad69f21f5532d99e2ee73c8ab6512bcab614c upstream.

Since b8b2c7d845d5, platform_drv_probe() is called for all platform
devices. If drv->probe is NULL, and dev_pm_domain_attach() fails,
platform_drv_probe() will return the error code from dev_pm_domain_attach().

This causes real_probe() to enter the "probe_failed" path and set
dev->driver to NULL. Before b8b2c7d845d5, real_probe() would assume
success if both dev->bus->probe and drv->probe were missing. As a result,
a device and driver could be "bound" together just by matching their names;
this doesn't work any more after b8b2c7d845d5.

This may cause problems later for certain usage of platform_driver_register()
and platform_device_register_simple(). I observed a panic while loading
the tpm_tis driver with parameter "force=1" (i.e. registering tpm_tis as
a platform driver), because tpm_tis_init's assumption that the device
returned by platform_device_register_simple() was bound didn't hold any more
(tpmm_chip_alloc() dereferences chip->pdev->driver, causing panic).

This patch restores the previous (4.3.0 and earlier) behavior of
platform_drv_probe() in the case when the associated platform driver has
no "probe" function.

Fixes: b8b2c7d845d5 ("base/platform: assert that dev_pm_domain callbacks are called unconditionally")
