The first copy is to allow platforms to have their data marked with
__initdata.  The second copy probably isn't necessary, but avoids
problems where the driver may decide to modify the platform data.

We could instead make wl12xx_get_platform_data() return a const pointer
to its own internal storage instead, or ERR pointers for the various
failure cases.
