Synopsis
int __init_or_module platform_driver_probe

| struct platform_driver * | drv , |
int (* | probe
(
struct platform_device *)

Arguments
-
platform driver structure
-
the driver probe routine, probably from an __init section
drv
probe
Description
Use this instead of platform_driver_register
when you know the device
is not hotpluggable and has already been registered, and you want to
remove its run-once probe
infrastructure from memory after the driver
has bound to the device.
One typical use for this would be with drivers for controllers integrated into system-on-chip processors, where the controller devices have been configured as part of board setup.
Returns zero if the driver registered and bound to a device, else returns a negative error code and with the driver not registered.
