no .probe?
Originally i added the probe here, but it cause the driver  .probe called twice. after i use platform_driver_probe to register the driver loading process, the duplicated probe issue resolved.

why is the probe done here? Put differently, what prevents you from using a 'normal' platform driver, and do the leds_setup in the .probe()?
At first ,I used the normal platform driver framework, however tt cause the driver  .probe called twice. after i use platform_driver_probe to register the driver loading process, the duplicated probe issue resolved.

This sounds very odd...

this looks like a conflict with the ACPI subsystem finding a device and probing the driver that's associated with the PNP0C09 HID, and then this module __init  creating a device manually which leads to a second probe

Neither the platform_device_register_simple() nor platform_driver_probe() seem necessary?Because this privacy acpi driver file has dependency on the ec handle,
so i want to determine if the driver can be loaded basing on the EC ID PNP0C09 matching.

So far,It works well for me to register the privacy driver with the register sequence. Dose it hurt to keep current registering process with platform_driver_probe used?
