The only issue is the current driver exposes a sysfs interface that I think is not available in that subsystem. >* Regarding the use of module_platform_driver_probe, I'm a little worried about > the interactions with deferred probing.

The ep93xx pwm driver does not need to use platform_driver_probe(). It can be changed to use module_platform_driver() by just moving the .probe to the platform_driver. This driver was added before module_platform_driver() was available and I used the platform_driver_probe() thinking it would save a couple lines of code. I'll change this in a bit. Right now I'm trying to work out why kernel 3.8 is not booting on the ep93xx. I had 3.6.6 on my development board and 3.7 works fine but 3.8 hangs without uncompressing the kernel.
