Well, can't agree with you :) It's my _presonal_ opinion.
You could define it as

static inline int platform_add_devices_array(struct platform_device **devs)
{
	return platform_add_devices(devs, ARRAY_SIZE(devs));
}

for me it would look much better then hide args by MACRO.
And I don't feel any hard about to use platform_add_devices
with TWO arguments. But I repeat - it's my _personal_ opinion.
