Are you sure you're actually fixing things?

You replaced platform_driver_probe() calls with 
platform_driver_register() calls, and made the probe functions __devinit 
instead of __init.  Especially when the platform device is unlikely to 
go away or new ones to ever appear, there is no point keeping the 
probe code around after it is done.
