A more general note about your patch description above: when you
write about the changes between versions, put that below the ---
line under your Signed-off-by. Aside from that, your changelog
entry would actually benefit from more verbosity: explain what the
purpose of this is, not just what it does.

I realize that the file has more of these, but it would be better
for a number of reasons to use 'platform_device_register_simple'
instead of platform_device_register. statically defining platform
devices (or any other device) is not recommended.
