The indent of trailing parameter lines is very random in here.
Pick a style and stick to it.  Few other trivial things inline.

Trivial but if !pfn, local_pfn not used so...

	if (pfn)
		*pfn = PHYS_PFN(phys);

Obviously ignore this if it becomes used in some later patch.

Might be worth capturing somewhere in code that using the value from
probe means you don't need locking.

Why that indent?  Two tabs and a couple of spaces...
Either two tabs, or align after (
