[PATCH 0/6] usb: gadget: Convert to use module_platform_driver()

Hello,

module_platform_driver_probe() is an alternative to
module_platform_driver(). Comparing the two the former has the advantage
that the probe and remove callbacks can live in .init.text and
.exit.text respectively. The latter has the advantage that it's a bit
easier to use correctly and you can bind/unbind via sysfs and/or
hotplug.

There are considerations about deprecating
module_platform_driver_probe()[1] as very few drivers use it, still less
make actually use of the advantages and saving a few bytes isn't as
important any more as it was (say) 10 years ago.

Given that the drivers below drivers/usb/gadget making use of
module_platform_driver_probe() doesn't benefit from the advantages
at all (probe and remove are all defined in .text), convert these
drivers to module_platform_driver().

Best regards
Uwe
