NAME
       platform_device_register_data - add a platform-level device with platform-specific data

SYNOPSIS
       struct platform_device * platform_device_register_data(struct device * parent,
                                                              const char * name, int id,
                                                              const void * data, size_t size);

ARGUMENTS
       parent
           parent device for the device we're adding

       name
           base name of the device we're adding

       id
           instance id

       data
           platform specific data for this platform device

       size
           size of platform specific data

DESCRIPTION
       This function creates a simple platform device that requires minimal resource and memory
       management. Canned release function freeing memory allocated for the device allows drivers
       using such devices to be unloaded without waiting for the last reference to the device to
       be dropped.

       Returns struct platform_device pointer on success, or ERR_PTR on error.
