Per-driver resource management is certainly convenient when you are
dealing with a single system, but it becomes difficult to maintain for
drivers that are shared among many platforms.
The industry trend for many years has been consolidation around a single
programming model per class of device. For example, SDHCI, EHCI, ATA.
This trend will only accelerate, as the cost of developing controller IP
and associated drivers increases. Such drivers need to be as
platform-agnostic as possible.
