Again, as in patch 2/3, you forgot a signed-off-by line.
But this change isn't correct, just because a device is not
hotpluggable, does not mean it should not be using probe/release, in
fact just the opposite, it should be using that and NOT init.
But I understand why you changed the init call in patch 2/3, that is ok,
this isn't because:

You are creating a fake platform device out of no where here, which is
tied to nothing, which isn't ok. Keep it in the proper device tree and
have it be passed to you by the driver core in the probe() function.
I think you will see that this changed where in /sys/devices/ your
device is now, right?

Making fake platform devices is generally never a good idea, please
don't do that.
