platform driver: fix incorrect use of 'platform_bus_type' with 'struct devic

This patch fixes the bug reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11681.

"Lots of device drivers register a 'struct device_driver' with
the '.bus' member set to '&platform_bus_type'. This is wrong,
since the platform_bus functions expect the 'struct device_driver'
to be wrapped up in a 'struct platform_driver' which provides
some additional callbacks (like suspend_late, resume_early).
The effect may be that platform_suspend_late() uses bogus data
outside the device_driver struct as a pointer pointer to the
device driver's suspend_late() function or other hard to
reproduce failures."(Lothar Wassmann)

This introduced the following warnings on m68k, as `dev' is now a
`struct platform_device *' instead of a `struct device *':

| drivers/scsi/a4000t.c:64: warning: passing argument 3 of 'NCR_700_detect' from incompatible pointer type
| drivers/scsi/mvme16x_scsi.c:67: warning: passing argument 3 of 'NCR_700_detect' from incompatible pointer type
| drivers/scsi/bvme6000_scsi.c:61: warning: passing argument 3 of 'NCR_700_detect' from incompatible pointer type

I think the below is missing (untested on real hardware)?

Yes, you are correct. It is really missed.

Great, Geert, care to resend with a signed-off-by: so I can apply this?
