Pull module_platform_driver replacement from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_platform_driver with builtin_platform driver in non
  modules.

  We see an increasing number of non-modular drivers using
  modular_driver() type register functions.  There are several downsides
  to letting this continue unchecked:

   - The code can appear modular to a reader of the code, and they won't
     know if the code really is modular without checking the Makefile
     and Kconfig to see if compilation is governed by a bool or
     tristate.

   - Coders of drivers may be tempted to code up an __exit function that
     is never used, just in order to satisfy the required three args of
     the modular registration function.

   - Non-modular code ends up including the <module.h> which increases
     CPP overhead that they don't need.

   - It hinders us from performing better separation of the module init
     code and the generic init code.

  So here we introduce similar macros for builtin drivers.  Then we
  convert builtin drivers (controlled by a bool Kconfig) by making the
  following type of mapping:

    module_platform_driver()       --->  builtin_platform_driver()
    module_platform_driver_probe() --->  builtin_platform_driver_probe().

  The set of drivers that are converted here are just the ones that
  showed up as relying on an implicit include of <module.h> during a
  pending header cleanup.  So we convert them here vs adding an include
  of <module.h> to non-modular code to avoid compile fails.  Additonal
  conversions can be done asynchronously at any time.

  Once again, an unused module_exit function that is removed here
  appears in the diffstat as an outlier wrt all the other changes"
