[PATCH 0/3] Add and use new macro module_platform_driver_probe()

[Fabio Porcedda]

For simple modules that contain a single platform_driver without any
additional setup code then ends up being a block of duplicated
boilerplate.  This patch adds a new macro,
module_platform_driver_probe(), which replaces the
module_init()/module_exit() registrations with template functions.
    
This macro use the same idea of module_platform_driver().
    
This macro is useful to stop the misuse of module_platform_driver() for
removing the platform_driver_probe() boilerplate.

Convert drivers/usb/* and drivers/watchdog/* to use
module_platform_driver_probe().

Best regards

Fabio Porcedda (3):
  driver core: add helper macro for platform_driver_probe() boilerplate
  watchdog: convert drivers/watchdog/* to use
    module_platform_driver_probe
  usb: converto drivers/usb/* to use module_platform_driver_probe()
