In i.MX8M boards, the registration of SoC device is later than caam
driver which needs it. Caam driver needs soc_device_match to provide
-EPROBE_DEFER when no SoC device is registered and no
early_soc_dev_attr.

There is one place checking this already.  We could wrap it in a helper
function:

static bool device_init_done(void)
{
	return soc_bus_type.p ? true : false;
}
