I think Paul is suggesting to use

static int __init alt_fpga_bridge_init(void)
{
platform_driver_register(&alt_fpga_bridge_driver);
}

device_initcall(alt_fpga_bridge_init);

or better:

builtin_platform_driver(&alt_fpga_bridge_driver);

Like for example in: drivers/cpuidle/cpuidle-mvebu-v7.c

Cheers,

Moritz
