Or not. I should probably get more sleep somewhere. omap2 uses
module_platform_driver but still requires .driver.owner to be set to
THIS_MODULE.

From the looks of it only platform_driver_register() provides the
nicety of automatically filling in the module owner. This still seems
to be an API inconsistency to me.

Long story short, I should fix it.
