From: Grant Likely on
Currently there are some drivers in tree which register both a
platform_driver and an of_platform_driver with the same name. This is
a temporary situation until all the relevant of_platform_drivers are
converted to be normal platform_drivers. Until then, this patch gives
all the of_platform_drivers an "of:" prefix to protect against bogus
matches and namespace conflicts.
