Is linux/io.h needed, or will a more specific include be better?

I'm not sure this DEVNAME definition really helps anything.

Err, no. Never ever ever provide a NULL release function. Providing
such a function is a screaming message that what you're doing is buggy.
And if you get a warning through not providing such a function, it's
telling you that what your overall approach with the driver API is
buggy (and you haven't understood the implications of refcounted
object management.)

So... this can never be bug free - you can _never_ unregister statically
allocated devices. Not even if you provide an empty release function.
If you want to register and unregister device structures, it must be
done using the correct APIs, and in the case of platform devices, that's
the platform_device_alloc(), platform_device_add() and
platform_device_unregister() APIs.
