Hi Patrick,
Before acking this as something that should be merged, I'd like to see
some real device drivers converted to use this interface so I can
better judge whether or not it is a good idea. More comments below.

For safety, I think you'd want to have a separate add function for
each new platform bus type, and change the name of this function to
explicitly pass the bus type:
int __platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
if (!pdev->dev.bus)
return -EINVAL;
[... existing code ...]
}
int platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
if (!pdev->dev.parent)
pdev->dev.parent = &platform_bus;
pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;
__platform_device_add(pdev);
}
And then for each bus type (in this example, I'll call it
foo_bus_type, and assume foo_device wraps platform_device):
int foo_device_add(struct foo_device *foo)
{
foo->pdev.dev.bus = &foo_bus_type;
__platform_device_add(&foo->pdev);
}
That will allow the new bus_type code to keep foo_bus_type as an
unexported static and will provide a bit more type safety. For
example, it avoids accidentally registering a plain (unwrapped)
platform device on the foo_bus_type.

Ditto here; better to have a separate foo_driver_register() for each
new bus type.

Nit: heap_pm is an odd name. Typically Linux local vars are named
according to what they are, not where the memory is allocated from.
How about simply 'ops'

Ick, this is a nasty list of conditional statements. :-) Instead it
could have an unconditional initialize function which sets it up just
like the platform bus without registering. Then allow the
foo_bus_type initialization code override the ones it cares about, and
then register directly.
