No, NEVER do that. platform devices are only for real platform devices,
do not abuse that interface any more than it already is.

No, not at all, sorry.
Use a real device, you have one somewhere that relates to this hardware,
otherwise you aren't controlling anything and then you can use a virtual
device.
Again, do NOT abuse the platform subsystem. It's one reason I am loath
to even want to allow rust bindings to it.
