The platform_device allocated by platform_device_alloc() should be added to the device hierarchy by platform_device_add() instead of platform_device_register(). Otherwise it will hit WARN_ON() in platform_device_register(). by illegal refcount. This patch fixes such incorrect usages in portman2x4 and mts64 drivers. Also it removes unnecessary trailing whitespaces.
