Who ever sets up the platform device that will bind to this driver, usually the board code (eg on avr32 arch/avr32/boards/*/setup.c, ARM is somewhere under arch/arm/mach-*/ I think).

The board code would create an array of struct resource with the appropriate memory regions and an IRQ entry, create a struct platform_device with the right content to bind to that driver, set the platform_device .resource field to the previously created array then call platform_device_register() to kick things off.
