__platform_driver_probe — register driver for non-hotpluggable device
int __platform_driver_probe ( | struct platform_driver * drv, |
int (*probe)

struct module * module) ; |
drv
platform driver structure
probe
the driver probe routine, probably from an __init section
module
module which will be the owner of the driver
Use this instead of platform_driver_register
when you know the device
is not hotpluggable and has already been registered, and you want to
remove its run-once probe
infrastructure from memory after the driver
has bound to the device.
One typical use for this would be with drivers for controllers integrated into system-on-chip processors, where the controller devices have been configured as part of board setup.
Note that this is incompatible with deferred probing.
Returns zero if the driver registered and bound to a device, else returns a negative error code and with the driver not registered.
