    IMO that's preferable for this driver. There's no
    point in doing anything other than discarding the
    probe() method after the driver has been set up;
    it'd be doing nothing except wasting memory.

    Same thing for ... pretty much all other drivers
    for SoC platform devices.

    In this series, you cc'd me on four OMAP drivers
    (mmci-omap, mmci-omap-hs, omap-rng, omap_udc) which
    I *know* that's a completely workable -- and far
    preferable -- solution. There might be others.
