Ah, this seems to be a case of layering violation. It would be best to
restructure the code so that the exynos driver registers a platform_driver
by itself for the respective DT compatible string, and then calls
into the common code from its probe function, rather than having the
generic driver know about the specific backends.

That approach will also make the generic driver more scalable as we
add further chip-specific variations, and matches what we do in other
drivers.
