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
