Unfortunately, the open problems - lack of proper of/acpi data and sane ways to inject this data - remain (theoretically, could be done by writing special fwnode backends, but that would be a whole project on its own) and the discussion perished w/o any conclusion. Until we have a complete and easily replacement for pdata, even for cases where no oftree/acpi data is available and platform drivers need to be instantiated directly, pdata structs still need to be maintained. Therefore I'm resending this pretty trivial patch. --mtx
