Bad wording, sorry. The goal is to have a platform driver (as in
platform bus) that will initialize my platform (as in: board, machine,
hardware). My platform (as in: the board) will be represented by the
root platform bus device (as in: the bus ;-) with compatible value
matching the one passed in the device tree's root.

The tree:

8<----------------------------
/ {
	compatible = "my,board";
}
8<----------------------------

The driver:

8<----------------------------
static struct of_device_id my_board_match[] = {
        { .compatible = "my,board", },
        {},
};

static struct platform_driver my_board_driver = {
        .driver = {
                .name = "my_board",
                .owner = THIS_MODULE,
                .of_match_table = of_match_ptr(my_board_match),
        },
        .probe = my_board_probe,
        .remove = my_board_remove,
};
module_platform_driver(my_board_driver);
8<----------------------------

I'll work on better commit message for the next spin.
