From: Robert Schwebel platform_add_devices can be used from within modules, so it should be exported. This can for example happen if you have hotpluggable firmware in an FPGA on a system on chip processor; in our case the FPGA is probed for devices and the FPGA base code registers the devices it has found with the kernel. (akpm: I think this is reasonable from a licensing POV: it's unlikely that anyone would be interested in merging such specialised modules into mainline, and it's a GPL export).
