Driver registration fails on SOC imx8mn as its supplier, the clock
control module, is not ready. Since platform_driver_probe(), as
reported by its description, is incompatible with deferred probing,
we have to use platform_driver_register().
The addition of the `_probe' suffix to the `mxs_dma_driver' variable was
suggested by the following modpost warning:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.data+0xa3900): Section mismatch in reference from the variable mxs_dma_driver to the function .init.text:mxs_dma_probe()
The variable mxs_dma_driver references
the function __init mxs_dma_probe()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console

Changes in v4:
- Restore __init in front of mxs_dma_probe() definition.
- Rename the mxs_dma_driver variable to mxs_dma_driver_probe.
- Update the commit message.
- Use builtin_platform_driver() instead of module_platform_driver().
Changes in v3:
