[RFC] drivercore: Add helper macro for platform_driver boilerplate

[Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>]

For simple modules that contain a single platform_driver without any
additional setup code then ends up being a block of duplicated
boilerplate.  This patch adds a new macro, module_platform_driver(),
which replaces the module_init()/module_exit() registrations with
template functions.

This patch also converts all the relevant spi drivers to use the new
macro.  There are a lot of drivers in the tree that are using this
pattern and could be converted.

It also fixes up some incorrect section annotations where I found
them.

I think this is useful, and I like the diffstat that it produces.
What does everyone else think of this approach?  I can do versions for
i2c_drivers and spi_drivers too.

This is *not* tested very much.  I'm circulating mostly for review for
now.
