I was just about to pick up this series, but then noticed that checking for
driver_override in the platform_early case doesn't make sense in the first place
and was accidentally added when the platform_match() callback was copied over in
commit 507fd01d5333 ("drivers: move the early platform device support to
arch/sh").

Thus, I'm going to drop this hunk and add in the following patch; please let me
know if there are any concerns.

    sh: platform_early: remove pdev->driver_override check

    In commit 507fd01d5333 ("drivers: move the early platform device support to
    arch/sh") platform_match() was copied over to the sh platform_early
    code, accidentally including the driver_override check.

    This check does not make sense for platform_early, as sysfs is not even
    available in first place at this point in the boot process, hence remove
    the check.
