Platform LCD devices may need to do some device-specific
initialization before they can be used (regulator or GPIO setup,
for example), but currently the driver does not support any way of
doing this. This patch adds a probe() callback to plat_lcd_data
which platform LCD devices can set to indicate that device-specific
initialization is needed.

It would probably be good not to print in the case of -EPROBE_DEFER?
Otherwise this looks good to me.

Actually, I think I'll just kill the print all together since the
caller will print something anyways.

Sigh. I see that this entire interface has been lovingly undocumented.
It's an invitation for us to grow bugs, incompatibilities, leaks, etc.
Possible example: what happens if pdata->probe does some resource
allocation or device initialisation which should be backed out if, say,
platform_lcd_probe() later fails?

Hi Andrew,
I agree with you.
Indeed, the documentation is necessary.
Andrew Bresticker,
Would you make the document?
It would be very helpful.
