Done but I do not seen any advantage. I used the following driver as 
basis.

I have fixed all the above hints from you now but using 
"module_platform_driver" is no option.
I played around with them but the driver does not find any device. So I 
need the init function
to add a platform device. Only if I do this way driver and device will 
find and match. And I
see the gpios under /sys/class/gpio. So I think I need this?
I have not find any driver who has the same problems
I used the following drivers as my basis:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/leds/leds-apu.c
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/leds/leds-clevo-mail.c
They all use dmi and need init/exit for platform device register and 
unregister
