It is OK but then what is the point of using platform_driver_probe()
instead of platform_driver_register()? The only reason you'd want to use
platform_driver_probe() if you wanted to discard the probe methods but
it will not happen if the are marked __devinit.

OK, but still, the bits above should be moved to open() as well, right?
