Seeing platform data marked with __initdata makes me extremely nervous.
Are you _absolutely_ _sure_ that this data either:

(a) gets copied before use, or
(b) is not used after kernel init

?

Normally, platform data is passed via a pointer in struct device to
drivers, and drivers either store a pointer to it, or if the driver is
unbound/rebound, they can access it well after init time.

Certainly marking a function pointed to by platform data as __init looks
very very wrong.
