I'm sorry but I'm going to need a much better changelog to review this
patch.  I can't entirely tell what the intended effect is supposed to
be, the subject line says we're probing things and the body says we're
registering things which aren't the same thing at all.

This function doesn't appear in git so I'm guessing that some other
patch in the series adds it.  See my reply to the first patch...

The obvious questions here based on the name are why we're doing
something specific to platform devices and why this isn't something
we're abstracting in the driver core (or at least generic firmware code)
- we're going to have the same thing with ACPI.
