Please take a look at 'repos/dde_linux/src/include/lx_emul/module.h' which defines the macros used by the vanilla sources. In this case we just generated a function that can be called directly. > I want to add a new driver which is loaded by > `module_platform_driver(...)`.

Until now the usb_drv on ARM was the only dde_linux driver that needed this macro, hence it is defined in its private Linux emulation header (see 'repos/dde_linux/src/lib/usb/include/spec/arm/platform/lx_emul.h'). Normally we only move definitions or rather emulation code to the somewhat generic lx_kit/lx_emul locations if used by more than one driver. For now I suggest to implement the macro privately in the intel_fb driver as well and we will come up with a better solution later on.
