of/platform: Register of_platform_drivers with an "of:" prefix
Currently there are some drivers in tree which register both a platform_driver and an of_platform_driver with the same name. This is a temporary situation until all the relevant of_platform_drivers are converted to be normal platform_drivers. Until then, this patch gives all the of_platform_drivers an "of:" prefix to protect against bogus matches and namespace conflicts.
