What I meant with [1] was that I think we should make this code compile and
remove everything that's not needed, i.e.:

	///```
	/// # use kernel::{acpi, device::Core, of, platform};
	///
	/// struct MyDriver;
	///
	/// impl platform::Driver for MyDriver {
	///     type IdInfo = ();
	///     const OF_ID_TABLE: Option<of::IdTable<Self::IdInfo>> = None;
	///     const ACPI_ID_TABLE: Option<acpi::IdTable<Self::IdInfo>> = None;
	///
	///     fn probe(
	///         _pdev: &platform::Device<Core>,
	///         _id_info: Option<&Self::IdInfo>,
	///     ) -> Result<Pin<KBox<Self>>> {
	///         Err(ENODEV)
	///     }
	/// }
	///```

However, given that we can't run doctests from drivers yet, we should just
remove this doctest I think. It much more belongs into rust/kernel/platform.rs
anyways (where we already have a similar one).
