Now that we have everything the platform support code needs in a single
file, should we instead of setting flags and comparing strings like
"INT33C" to find out are we running on Lynxpoint, pass function pointer
that gets called when corresponding device gets created? Something like:

	{ "INT33C0", lpt_clks_init },
	...

Or do you think we need to keep the flags still?

I can prepare a patch if this turns out to be sensible thing to do.
