platform drivers don't need .owner in them anymore, it's handled by the
driver core automatically.

NEVER use unlikely unless you can measure the difference without it.
And even then, you better be able to justify it. For something as dumb
as this type of check, youare working against the complier and cpu which
already knows that 0 is the usual response.
So please remove all usages of likely/unlikely in this patch series.
