I would ask *what* is platform device driver ? and what is the *difference* between a platform device driver and a normal device driver ? The answer here explains it extremely well : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15610570/what-is-the-difference-between-platform-driver-and-normal-device-driver >>For further information I went through code in platform_driver_register() and got lost. I looked web but could not find >>substantiation information. This will help: http://code.woboq.org/linux/linux/drivers/base/platform.c.html#platform_driver_probe >>I am still not able to locate from WHERE this probe function is called and WHO calls it? >>Can someone please point to source code or some other document related to this?
