DESCRIPTION

34       This function creates a simple platform device that requires minimal
35       resource and memory management. Canned release function freeing memory
36       allocated for the device allows drivers using such devices to be
37       unloaded without waiting for the last reference to the device to be
38       dropped.
39
40       Returns struct platform_device pointer on success, or ERR_PTR on error.
