These three lines have twice as many tabs as is needed.

Hmm.  How about something like this instead:

	struct resource eth_res[2];
	int err;

	BUG_ON(!info);

	init_resource_mem(&eth_res[0], info->mmio_base, SZ_16K);
	init_resource_irq(&eth_res[1], info->irq);

	...

	err = platform_device_add_resources(&at91_eth_device, eth_res, 2);
	if (err) {
		pr_err("eth: unable to add resources: %d\n", err);
		return;
	}

	err = platform_device_add_data(&at91_eth_device, data, sizeof(*data));
	if (err) {
		pr_err("eth: unable to add platform data: %d\n", err);
		/* res leaked */
		return;
	}

	err = platform_device_register(&at91_eth_device);
	if (err) {
		pr_err("eth: unable to register device: %d\n", err);
		/* res and data leaked */
	}

With Uwe's patches, we can plug those leaks.  Note that we can't use
platform_device_register_resndata() because it doesn't set the DMA
masks etc (which is one of the problems I've always had with interfaces
which try to wrap too much stuff up - they always lack something.)

This would get rid of the need to have the resources and platform
data storage declared for each and every device.  I'd suggest wrapping
the last bit adding the platform data and resources up in its own
function common to each device as its going to be the same for
everything.  Remember to pass the size of the platform data though.
