I was actually thinking about this too. The problem with fixing
builtin_platform_driver_probe() to behave like
builtin_platform_driver() is that these probe functions could be
marked with __init. But there are also only 20 instances of
builtin_platform_driver_probe() in the kernel:
$ git grep ^builtin_platform_driver_probe | wc -l
20

So it might be easier to just fix them to not use
builtin_platform_driver_probe().

Michael,

Any chance you'd be willing to help me by converting all these to
builtin_platform_driver() and delete builtin_platform_driver_probe()?
