Sorry, but that's not a valid reason to use a platform device for fake
things like this:

Especially a single static one.

No, please do not create a fake platform driver.

And please do not create a fake platform device.

As always, do not create fake platform devices for things that are NOT
platform devices.

If this device needs DMA (but why?) then make it a real device and tie
it to the bus it belongs to (that it is obviously doing DMA on.)

But as-is, this isn't ok, sorry.
