Uwe Kleine-König 1865913dd5 media: meson-ir-tx: Drop usage of platform_driver_probe()
The benefit of platform_driver_probe() here is only that the probe
function can be discarded after the driver is loaded. For an ARCH=arm
allmodconfig that's 952 bytes, for an allnoconfig + IR_MESON_TX=y it's
only 452 bytes. The downside is that the driver isn't dynamically
bindable and unbindable.

There are considerations to drop platform_driver_probe() as a concept
that isn't relevant any more today. It comes with an added complexity
that makes many users hold it wrong. (E.g. this driver didn't benefit
as much as it could as of v6.6-rc1 as meson_irtx_remove() could have
been marked with __exit.)

The advantages are not that relevant any more today, so convert this
driver to an ordinary platform driver.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
