Why do you need a platform device for this?  You do nothing with this
device, why create it at all?

And why is it a platform device, isn't is really a PCI device?  Why
would you ever find a "platform" device below a PCI device?  Don't abuse
platform devices for things that aren't.  It makes me want to delete
that whole interface more and more...
