Users of platform_device_alloc() + platform_device_add() must not modify certain fields of the dynamically created platform device object. Update the kernel doc to say which fields are affected and which functions to use.Consider using __private checker attribute for them as well. It will make sparse scream.Sure but let's leave it for another series.
Sure, just a side note comment that you know that we have some facilities for that type of problems. -- With Best Regards, Andy Shevchenko
