I find a lot of mistakes using struct platform_driver without owner.
So I pick up some of them including usb and net modules

Instead of doing it this way, which is obviously error prone and
easy to forget, make platform_driver_register() be a macro which
sets the module owner field then calls the real __platform_driver_register().

Or, maybe make the existing module_platform_driver() macro do this?

But not all the modules use module_platform_driver() macro to replace the module init/exit.

yes, there are many drivers register platform_driver by platform_driver_register manually.

make both platform_driver_register() and module_platform_driver()  to check and set the module owner field?

No, module_platform_driver() will call platform_driver_register() to register platform_driver, just do it in
platform_driver_register() is enough.
As David mentioned, making platform_driver_register() be a macro and sets the module owner field in it, seems
a good way.

No, module_platform_driver() will call platform_driver_register() to register platform_driver, just do it in
platform_driver_register() is enough.
As David mentioned, making platform_driver_register() be a macro and sets the module owner field in it, seems
a good way.

Then maybe it's a good opportunity to convert those ones to use
module_platform_driver() ?

 In my opinion, not all modules can use module_platform_driver() macro to replace the module init/exit easily, like us3mc_init.

 Furthermore this work will touch various platforms and architectures, I am worried it is hard to *test* (compile and boot).

 What do you think?

Like others said, make the function call a macro that sets the module
owner in it, like all of the other major subsystem registration calls do
(usb_drivers, pci_drivers, etc.)

Agree. I stick to the way that David mentioned.
