device_register()和platform_device_register()的区别
platform_device_register向系统注册设备
platform_driver_register向系统注册驱动，过程中在系统寻找注册的设备（根据.name)，找到后运行.probe进行初始化。

device_register()和platform_device_register()的区别(转载)
首先看device和platform_device区别
由struct platform_device {
const char * name; //NOTE:此处设备的命名应和相应驱动程序命名一致
u32 id; //以实现driver binding
struct device dev;
u32 num_resources;
struct resource * resource;
};
可知：platform_device由device派生而来
内核中关于Platform devices的注释
Platform devices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Platform devices are devices that typically appear as autonomous
entities in the system. This includes legacy port-based devices and
host bridges to peripheral buses, and most controllers integrated
into system-on-chip platforms. What they usually have in common
is direct addressing from a CPU bus. Rarely, a platform_device will
be connected through a segment of some other kind of bus; but its
registers will still be directly addressable.
Platform devices are given a name, used in driver binding, and a
list of resources such as addresses and IRQs.
个人理解：Platform devices是相对独立的设备，拥有各自独自的资源（addresses and IRQs）
一个Platform devices实例：
static struct platform_device *smdk2410_devices[] __initdata = {
&s3c_device_usb, //片上的各个设备
&s3c_device_lcd, //下面以s3c_device_lcd为例
&s3c_device_wdt,
&s3c_device_i2c,
&s3c_device_iis,
};
/* LCD Controller */
static struct resource s3c_lcd_resource[] = { //LCD的两个资源
[0] = {
.start = S3C2410_PA_LCD,
.end = S3C2410_PA_LCD + S3C2410_SZ_LCD,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
},
[1] = {
.start = IRQ_LCD,
.end = IRQ_LCD,
.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ,
}
};
struct platform_device s3c_device_lcd = {//s3c_device_lcd设备
.name = "s3c2410-lcd",
.id = -1,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(s3c_lcd_resource),
.resource = s3c_lcd_resource,
.dev = { //device实例
.dma_mask = &s3c_device_lcd_dmamask,
.coherent_dma_mask = 0xffffffffUL
}
};
s3c_device_lcd的resource中硬件地址:
#define S3C2410_LCDREG(x) ((x) + S3C2410_VA_LCD)
/* LCD control registers */
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x00)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON2 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x04)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON3 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x08)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON4 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x0C)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON5 S3C2410_LCDREG(0x10)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_CLKVAL(x) ((x) << 8)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_MMODE (1<<7)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_DSCAN4 (0<<5)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_STN4 (1<<5)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_STN8 (2<<5)
#define S3C2410_LCDCON1_TFT (3<<5)
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
#define S3C2410_ADDR(x) (0xF0000000 + (x))
/* LCD controller */
#define S3C2410_VA_LCD S3C2410_ADDR(0x00600000)
#define S3C2410_PA_LCD (0x4D000000)
#define S3C2410_SZ_LCD SZ_1M
再分析device_register()和platform_device_register()的实现代码：
device_register()－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
/**
* device_register - register a device with the system.
* @dev: pointer to the device structure
*
* This happens in two clean steps - initialize the device
* and add it to the system. The two steps can be called
* separately, but this is the easiest and most common.
* I.e. you should only call the two helpers separately if
* have a clearly defined need to use and refcount the device
* before it is added to the hierarchy.
*/
int device_register(struct device *dev)
{
device_initialize(dev); //初始化设备结构
return device_add(dev); //添加设备到设备层
}
platform_device_register()－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
/**
* platform_device_register - add a platform-level device
* @pdev: platform device we're adding
*
*/
int platform_device_register(struct platform_device * pdev)
{
device_initialize(&pdev->dev); //初始化设备结构
return platform_device_add(pdev); //添加一个片上的设备到设备层
}
由以上函数可知：device_register()和platform_device_register()都会首先初始化设备
区别在于第二步：其实platform_device_add()包括device_add(),只不过要先注册resources
platform_device_add()－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
/**
* platform_device_add - add a platform device to device hierarchy
* @pdev: platform device we're adding
*
* This is part 2 of platform_device_register(), though may be called
* separately _iff_ pdev was allocated by platform_device_alloc().
*/
int platform_device_add(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
int i, ret = 0;
if (!pdev)
return -EINVAL;
if (!pdev->dev.parent)
pdev->dev.parent = &platform_bus;
pdev->dev.bus = &platform_bus_type;
/*＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋
The platform_device.dev.bus_id is the canonical name for the devices.
It's built from two components:
* platform_device.name ... which is also used to for driver matching.
* platform_device.id ... the device instance number, or else "-1"
to indicate there's only one.
These are concatenated, so name/id "serial"/0 indicates bus_id "serial.0", and
"serial/3" indicates bus_id "serial.3"; both would use the platform_driver
named "serial". While "my_rtc"/-1 would be bus_id "my_rtc" (no instance id)
and use the platform_driver called "my_rtc".

else //"-1" indicate there's only one

for (i = 0; i < pdev->num_resources; i++) { //遍历设备资源个数，如LCD的两个资源：控制器和IRQ
struct resource *p, *r = &pdev->resource[i];
if (r->name == NULL)
r->name = pdev->dev.bus_id;
p = r->parent;
if (!p) { //resources分为两种IORESOURCE_MEM和IORESOURCE_IO

}
pr_debug("Registering platform device '%s'. Parent at %s/n",
pdev->dev.bus_id, pdev->dev.parent->bus_id);

device_initialize()－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
/**

* @dev: device.
*
* This prepares the device for use by other layers,
* including adding it to the device hierarchy.
* It is the first half of device_register(), if called by

device_add(struct device *dev)－－－－－－－－－－－－－
/**

* @dev: device.
*
* This is part 2 of device_register(), though may be called
* separately _iff_ device_initialize() has been called separately.

原文地址:http://blog.chinaunix.net/u1/58968/showart_467998.html ,
在8250.c(driver/serial/8250.c)的初始化函数serial8250_init（）中，给出了一个很简单的例子
static struct platform_device *serial8250_isa_devs;
......
//create a platform_device
serial8250_isa_devs = platform_device_alloc("serial8250",PLAT8250_DEV_LEGACY);
platform_device_add(serial8250_isa_devs); //add the platform_device to system
platform_driver_register(&serial8250_isa_driver);//then register the platform_driver
还有另外一个比较类似的比较，就是driver_register和platform_driver_register的比较
platform_driver_register(&xx_driver) 会向系统注册xx_driver这个驱动程序，这个函数会以 xx_driver中的.name内容，搜索系统注册的device中有没有这个platform_device,如果有，就会执行 platform_driver(也就是xx_driver的类型)中的.probe函数。
