Subject: [PATCH 3.10 20/24] backlight: atmel-pwm-bl: fix deferred probe from __init

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Johan Hovold <jhovold@...il.com>

commit 9d3fde86b15303decea632c929fbf1f3ae4501f2 upstream.

Move probe out of __init section and don't use platform_driver_probe
which cannot be used with deferred probing.

Since commit e9354576 ("gpiolib: Defer failed gpio requests by default")
this driver might return -EPROBE_DEFER if a gpio_request fails.
