The code looks fine, but you're actually doing a great deal more than
you describe in the commit message. Would you mind expanding?

I.e:

> +		dev_err(&pdev->dev, "Unknown qcom,controller-type\n");

Switching to these 'cos they're more informative.

> -	platform_set_drvdata(pdev, NULL);

Removing these because they're obsolete.

> -	.remove		= ssbi_remove,

Removing this 'cos it no longer does anything useful.

> +module_platform_driver(ssbi_driver);

Moving these because it's more succinct when init() and exit()
routines are baron.

None of the above have anything to do with devm_* managed resources.
