- * platform_device_register_simple - add a platform-level device and its resources
+ * platform_device_register_resndata - add a platform-level device with
+ * resources and platform-specific data
+ *
+ * @parent: parent device for the device we're adding
  * @name: base name of the device we're adding
  * @id: instance id
  * @res: set of resources that needs to be allocated for the device
  * @num: number of resources
- *
- * This function creates a simple platform device that requires minimal
- * resource and memory management. Canned release function freeing memory
- * allocated for the device allows drivers using such devices to be
- * unloaded without waiting for the last reference to the device to be
- * dropped.
- *
- * This interface is primarily intended for use with legacy drivers which
- * probe hardware directly.  Because such drivers create sysfs device nodes
- * themselves, rather than letting system infrastructure handle such device
- * enumeration tasks, they don't fully conform to the Linux driver model.
- * In particular, when such drivers are built as modules, they can't be
- * "hotplugged".
- *
- * Returns &struct platform_device pointer on success, or ERR_PTR() on error.
