NAME
       __platform_driver_probe - register driver for non-hotpluggable device

SYNOPSIS
       int __platform_driver_probe(struct platform_driver * drv,
                                   int (*probe) (struct platform_device *),
                                   struct module * module);

ARGUMENTS
       drv
           platform driver structure

       probe
           the driver probe routine, probably from an __init section

       module
           module which will be the owner of the driver

DESCRIPTION
       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.
