Sure. Before I go over them though, could you perhaps confirm that just 
doing a manual alloc/add _is_ this proper API? Ie, something like:

    device = platform_device_alloc(NAME, i);
    if (!device)
            return -ENOMEM;

    error = platform_device_add(device);
    if (error) {
            platform_device_put(device);
            return error;
    }

(there by the way are still a few users left outside ALSA as well)
