I was not going to comment on this, because it's unfair to nitpick a
v11 patch...  But since you're going to have to redo it anyway, could
you make this function bool and change it to return true/false.

static bool vchiq_bus_type_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *drv)
{
	if (dev->bus == &vchiq_bus_type &&
	    strcmp(dev_name(dev), drv->name) == 0)
		return true;

	return false;
}

Ugh...  I was going to ignore this as well, but later there is a
checkpatch warning so then I decided nitpicking was ok.  Always do
error handling.  if (ret).  Never do success handling.  if (!ret).  But
here it can be done on one line.

	return driver->probe(device);

Run checkpatch.pl -f on your files.

Stefan already commented on the other stuff I was going to say.
