You'll note that this is *really* rare; there are vastly more machine
drivers that don't do this.  If there's some specific reason then
there's nothing technical stopping this happening but it's very unusual.

I'm not sure what more to say...  Have you looked at that field and how
it is both implemented and used in other drivers, or at the commit logs
for relevant changes?  What do you find unclear?

I don't think you're looking at a current kernel...

No, it should match the name of the platform driver you created.  The
platform: refers to the bus type.
