Since by using platform_driver_probe() the function ep93xx_pwm_probe() is freed after initialization, is better to use module_platform_drive_probe(). IMHO i don't see any good reason to use module_platform_driver() for this driver.
As I commented earlier, the platform_driver_probe() and module_platform_drive_probe() interfaces are rather dangerous in combination with deferred probing, I would much prefer Harley's patch. Arnd
