You are right, but fixing the fpga core is outside the scope of my patches. My intent was to improve the test suite by adding fake drivers irrespective of the fpga core quirks. I might try to send an RFC later to improve the fpga core. > >> NULL ptr is referenced. >> >> So do fpga-bridge/region-test. >> >> Patch #1 adds a common helper to generate a platform driver. > > Don't abuse platform devices/drivers like this, this is not a platform > device or driver.

Moreover, many real FPGA IPs, like reconfiguration controllers and bridges, are indeed modeled as platform devices.
