Would it make sense to do something like:

	#define __module_platform_driver(__platform_driver, __initlvl) \
	static int __init __platform_driver##_init(void) \
	{ \
		return platform_driver_register(&(__platform_driver)); \
	} \
	__initlvl ## _initcall(__platform_driver##_init); \
	static void __exit __platform_driver##_exit(void) \
	{ \
		platform_driver_unregister(&(__platform_driver)); \
	} \
	module_exit(__platform_driver##_exit);

	#define postcore_platform_driver(__platform_driver) __module_platform_driver(__platform_driver, postcore)
	#define subsys_platform_driver(__platform_driver) __module_platform_driver(__platform_driver, subsys)
	...

Which would be more compact and makes the difference between these
macros a bit more obvious.

Best regards
Uwe
