[PATCH 19/20] dm: Don't allow U_BOOT_DEVICE() when of-platdata is used

With of-platdata, the devicetree is supposed to specify all the devices
in the system. So far this hasn't really mattered since of-platdata still
works correctly.

However, new of-platdata features rely on numbering the devices in a
particular order so that they can be referenced by a single integer. It is
tricky to implement this efficiently when other devices are present in the
build.

To address this, disable use of U_BOOT_DEVICE() when of-platdata is
enabled. This seems acceptable as it is not supposed to be used at all,
except in SPL/TPL, where of-platdata is the recommended approach.

This breaks one non-compliant boards at present: mx6cuboxi
