For some ACPI device objects, they represent master devices,

In this case, we do not want to enumerate their children devices to
platform bus explicitly in acpi scan code.

Thus a new flag .is_master_device is introduced in this patch.

For devices with this flag set, we will not do default enumeration
for their children.
Is there any particular reason we would like to enumerate everything
below the first device by default?
Yes, there is.  Device objects without _ADR under the PCI host bridge.
OK.

Or we can skip the children under every *platform* device created by this by
default and mark the ones where we want the children to be enumerated as
platform devices too in a special way if needed.

I guess we could try that (that was the Rui's original idea IIRC).
That sounds better to me.

I wonder if we can do this analogous to of_platform_bus_probe() and
friends?

Yes, we should actually.
