David Brownell c67334fbdf Driver core: platform_driver_probe(), can save codespace ... This defines a new platform_driver_probe() method allowing the driver's probe() method, and its support code+data, to safely live in __init sections for typical system configurations. Many system-on-chip processors could benefit from this API, to the tune of recovering hundreds to thousands of bytes per driver. That's memory which is currently wasted holding code which can never be called after system startup, yet can not be removed. It can't be removed because of the linkage requirement that pointers to init section code (like, ideally, probe support) must not live in other sections (like driver method tables) after those pointers would be invalid.
