Delay calling platform_device_alloc() from build_info_create_dev() to feature_dev_register(), now that the feature device data contains all necessary data to create the feature device. This completes the new function feature_dev_register(), which will be reused in a subsequent commit to fully recreate the feature device when assigning a port. In the function feature_dev_unregister(), reset the device pointer in the feature data to NULL to signal that the platform device has been destroyed. This will substitute device_is_registered() in a subsequent commit. Reset the device pointer of each sub feature for consistency. Convert is_feature_dev_detected() to check whether binfo->type is not DFL_ID_MAX for deciding whether a feature device was detected during feature parsing, instead of checking binfo->feature_dev for non-NULL.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
