Sorry I am completely out of sort here,
should I register it on a PCI bus without any ID table?

Oh offcourse, I forgot.
So then should a char driver interface suffice.

Why are you using a platform driver and device on x86? That's not going
to work at all, as your device doesn't have an irq. Please use this on
a "real" device that has an interrupt assigned to it.
