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.
