I just noticed this macro in include/linux/netdevice.h

Is there anyway you could use that macro in the probe to save the platform_device
(with it's associated device) instead of introducing a new struct device * in the
private data?

Nice finding, thanks.

I'll look into that and send new version of the whole series soon.
