I will point out that relying on driver probing orders has already been stated by driver model people to be unsafe. This is why I will not adopt such a solution for my driver; it is a bad design.
Just to clarify, what you're objecting to is effectively the following? Because it is not guaranteed in the future that the probe order will be the same as the platform_driver_register() calls?
Correct. Consider what happens if the devices are registered after the driver(s) have been registered, which may not be in the correct order.
