Ok, I see your point there. But after looking at the i2c and net drivers,
I believe that they can easily be split into an architecture dependent
part that is either an of_platform_driver or a platform_driver, and
a common part that does not know about either of these.

With the example of the i2c driver, you can have something like:

i2c-mv64xxx.c:
=============
int __devinit mv64xxx_i2c_probe(struct device *dev, struct mv64xxx_i2c_pdata *data,
		struct resource *regs, int irq)
{
	...
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(mv64xxx_i2c_probe);

int __devexit mv64xxx_i2c_remove(struct device *dev)
{
	...
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(mv64xxx_i2c_remove);

i2c-mv64xxx-pdev.c:
========================
static int __devinit mv64xxx_i2c_probe_pdev(struct platform_device *pd)
{
	return mv64xxx_i2c_probe(&pd->dev, &pd->dev.platform_data, 
			platform_get_resource(pd, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0)),
			platform_get_irq(pd, 0));
}
static int __devexit mv64xxx_i2c_remove_pdev(struct platform_device *pd)
{
	return mv64xxx_i2c_remove(&pd->dev);
}
static struct platform_driver mv64xxx_i2c_driver = {
	.probe	= mv64xxx_i2c_probe_pdev,
	.remove	= mv64xxx_i2c_remove_pdev,
	.driver	= {
		.owner	= THIS_MODULE,
		.name	= MV64XXX_I2C_CTLR_NAME,
	},
};
static int __init
mv64xxx_i2c_init_pdev(void)
{
	return platform_driver_register(&mv64xxx_i2c_driver);
}
static void __exit
mv64xxx_i2c_exit_pdev(void)
{
	platform_driver_unregister(&mv64xxx_i2c_driver);
}
module_init(mv64xxx_i2c_init_pdev);
module_exit(mv64xxx_i2c_exit_pdev);

i2c-mv64xxx-of.c:
========================
static int __devinit mv64xxx_i2c_probe_of(struct of_device *dev)
{
	struct mv64xxx_i2c_pdata pdata;
	struct resource resource;
	int irq;

	of_address_to_resource(&dev->node, 0, &resource);
	of_map_irq(&dev->node, 0, &irq);
	return mv64xxx_i2c_probe(&dev->dev, &pdata, &resource, irq);
}
static int __devexit mv64xxx_i2c_remove_pdev(struct of_device *dev)
{
	return mv64xxx_i2c_remove(&dev->dev);
}
static struct of_device_id mv64xxx_i2c_device_ids = {
	{ .type = "i2c", .compatible = "mv64x60-i2c" },
	{ },
};
static struct of_platform_driver mv64xxx_i2c_of_driver = {
	.probe	= mv64xxx_i2c_probe_of,
	.remove	= mv64xxx_i2c_remove_of,
	.ids = &mv64xxx_i2c_device_ids,
	.driver	= {
		.owner	= THIS_MODULE,
		.name	= MV64XXX_I2C_CTLR_NAME,
	},
};
static int __init
mv64xxx_i2c_init_of(void)
{
	return of_platform_driver_register(&mv64xxx_i2c_of_driver);
}
static void __exit
mv64xxx_i2c_exit_of(void)
{
	of_platform_driver_unregister(&mv64xxx_i2c_driver);
}
module_init(mv64xxx_i2c_init_of);
