EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()?  I have to ask...

Why is this a platform driver?  How does this relate to platform
hardware?

pr_err()?

return here, that way you don't need:

But again, why is this a platform device?  What platform resources does
it have / require?

That seems like a serious hack, why do you need to do this in this
manner?
