fbdev: atmel_lcdfb: Stop using platform_driver_probe()
On today's platforms the benefit of platform_driver_probe() isn't that relevant any more. It allows to drop some code after booting (or module loading) for .probe() and discard the .remove() function completely if the driver is built-in. This typically saves a few 100k. The downside of platform_driver_probe() is that the driver cannot be bound and unbound at runtime which is ancient and also slightly complicates testing. There are also thoughts to deprecate platform_driver_probe() because it adds some complexity in the driver core for little gain. Also many drivers don't use it correctly. This driver for example misses to mark the driver struct with __refdata which is needed to suppress a (W=1) modpost warning: WARNING: modpost: drivers/video/fbdev/atmel_lcdfb: section mismatch in reference: atmel_lcdfb_driver+0x4 (section: .data) -> atmel_lcdfb_remove (section: .exit.text) [folded in patch by Nathan Chancellor] Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
