Now I see why I did this, it doesn't show in the patch but this driver
now has two platform_driver structs and two probes.

So I thought it'd be messy to have the two probes in two different
files, with criss-cross calling, as simple as that.

The goal is to merge them into one probe function providing
all resources though, I'm refactoring stepwise since the mess
up in the arch needs to be handled in some separate step
and I have enough hamming distance already as it is ...

I'm rolling a v2 with the other change though.

Yours,
