NAME
       platform_device_register_data - add a platform-level device with platform-specific data

SYNOPSIS
       struct platform_device * platform_device_register_data(struct device * parent, const char * name, int id, const void * data, size_t size);

ARGUMENTS
       parent
	   parent device for the device we're adding

       name
	   base name of the device we're adding

       id
	   instance id

       data
	   platform specific data for this platform device

       size
	   size of platform specific data

DESCRIPTION
       This function creates a simple platform device that requires minimal resource and memory management. Canned release function freeing memory
       allocated for the device allows drivers using such devices to be unloaded without waiting for the last reference to the device to be
       dropped.

       Returns struct platform_device pointer on success, or ERR_PTR on error.
