Thank you for the new version. At a quick look this looks much
better now wrt the probe / init / sysfs attr registration, great work!

2 quick remarks:

1. Please add a Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-silicom
   file to document driver specific the sysfs attributes of this driver
   See: Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-wilco-ec for an example
   (and other Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-platform-* files)

2. :

Like with the Kconfig part, please group this together with
the other industrial PC drivers we have at the end of
the Makefile:

# Siemens Simatic Industrial PCs
obj-$(CONFIG_SIEMENS_SIMATIC_IPC)       += siemens/

# Silicom
obj-$(CONFIG_SILICOM_PLATFORM)		+= silicom-platform.o

# Winmate
obj-$(CONFIG_WINMATE_FM07_KEYS)         += winmate-fm07-keys.o

# SEL
obj-$(CONFIG_SEL3350_PLATFORM)          += sel3350-platform.o


Other then that please keep working with Ilpo to polish the code
a bit more and then hopefully this will be ready for merging soon.

Regards,

Hans
