+Kernel modules can be composed of several platform drivers. The platform core
+provides helpers to register and unregister an array of drivers:
+
+ int __platform_register_drivers(struct platform_driver * const *drivers,
+ unsigned int count, struct module *owner);
+ void platform_unregister_drivers(struct platform_driver * const *drivers,
+ unsigned int count);
+
+If one of the drivers fails to register, all drivers registered up to that
+point will be unregistered in reverse order. Note that there is a convenience
+macro that passes THIS_MODULE as owner parameter:
+
+ #define platform_register_driver(drivers, count)
