Since b8b2c7d8, platform_drv_probe() is called for all platform devices. If drv->probe is NULL, and dev_pm_domain_attach() fails, platform_drv_probe() will return the error code from dev_pm_domain_attach(). This causes real_probe() to enter the "probe_failed" path and set dev->driver to NULL. Before b8b2c7d8, real_probe() would assume success if both dev->bus->probe and drv->probe were missing. As a result, a device and driver could be "bound" together just by matching their names; this doesn't work any more after b8b2c7d8. This may cause problems later for certain usage of platform_driver_register() and platform_device_register_simple(). I observed a panic while loading the tpm_tis driver with parameter "force=1" (i.e. registering tpm_tis as a platform driver), because tpm_tis_init's assumption that the device returned by platform_device_register_simple() was bound didn't hold any more (tpmm_chip_alloc() dereferences chip->pdev->driver, causing panic). This patch restores the previous (4.3.0 and earlier) behavior of platform_drv_probe() in the case when the associated platform driver has no "probe" function.
