I think we can make it happen by designing the platform device in a way that 
its name aligns with that of the driver. In such a scenario, when the driver 
is probed, the of_match_device function will return null. You can verify this 
functionality by reviewing the following function:

static int platform_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
