Actually, the meson_uart module is already a platform_driver, but it is currently registered manually and the uart core registration is run outside the probe() scope, which results in some restrictions. For instance, it is not possible to communicate with the OF subsystem because it requires an initialized device object. To address this issue, apply module_platform_driver() instead of direct module init/exit routines. Additionally, move uart_register_driver() to the driver probe(), and destroy manual console registration because it's already run in the uart_register_driver() flow.
