I'm afraid that may be unfixable.. It depends on things like the bus
driver probe that might get also deferred.
As suggested, I agree it's best to get rid of builtin_platform_driver_probe
where possible at the cost of dropping the __init as needed.
To me it seems we can't even add a warning to __platform_driver_probe()
if there's drv->driver.of_match_table for example. That warning would
show up on all the devices with driver in question built in even if
the device has no such hardware.

Tony
