platform_driver_prob(9)
NAME
platform_driver_probe - register driver for non-hotpluggable device
SYNOPSIS
int __init_or_module
platform_driver_probe(struct platform_driver * drv,
int (*probe) (struct platform_device *));
ARGUMENTS
- drv
- platform driver structure
- probe
- the driver probe routine, probably from an __init section
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.
