Hi Andy, sure! I have renamed the file as core_platform.c in the next version , so that it is consistent with the rest of the file names under intel/pmc/ (core.c, core.h , core_platform.c)

Yeah, it is not needed for kernel modules. I have made changes accordingly.

I made changes, so that we won't have the same issue as with the core module. core_pltdrv has always been made as a separate module, Andy. Do you suggest that we don't need it as a separate module?
