The root cause is the device struct is initialized twice.
If the device is allocated dynamically by platform_device_alloc,
platform_device_alloc will initialize struct device, then,
platform_device_add should be used to register the device.
The difference between platform_device_register and platform_device_add is
platform_device_register will initiate the device while platform_device_add
won't.
