[PATCH 11/19] add platform_device_register_simple

[Dmitry Torokhov]

===================================================================


ChangeSet@xxxxxx, 2004-06-27 15:57:46-05:00, dtor_core@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
  sysfs: add platform_device_register_simple to register platform devices
         requiring minimal resource and memory management. The device will
         have standard release function that just frees memory occupied by
         the platform device. By having release function in the driver core
         modules using such devices can be unloaded without waiting for the
         last reference to the device to be dropped.
  
         Suggested by Russell King
