+ * platform_driver_probe - register driver for non-hotpluggable device
+ * @drv: platform driver structure
+ * @probe: the driver probe routine, probably from an __init section
+ *
+ * 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.
