On today's platforms the benefit of platform_driver_probe() isn't that
relevant any more. It allows to drop some code after booting (or module
loading) for .probe() and discard the .remove() function completely if
the driver is built-in. This typically saves a few 100k.
Which is a lot on platforms with only a few MiBs of RAM...
True.
Given the warnings below, what is your suggestion?
Better to drop the amifb patch ?
I think so. There is a reason these drivers use platform_driver_probe().
