[PATCH 01/30] include: linux: platform_device: more helpers for declaring platform drivers

[Enrico Weigelt, metux IT consult]

From: Enrico Weigelt <info@xxxxxxxxx>

Add more helper macros for trivial driver init cases, similar to the
already existing module_platform_driver()+friends - now for those which
are initialized at other stages. Lots of drivers couldn't use the existing
macros, as they need to be called at different init stages, eg. subsys,
postcore, arch.

This helps to further reduce driver init boilerplate.
