After changing it into platform_driver_register, I can see mmc probe is getting completed from deferred probe list. But, MMC upper layer will check probe and it waits for ever since probe_count is not getting incremented. Log: [ 1.807830] platform omap_hsmmc.0: Driver omap_hsmmc requests probe deferral ...
