Thanks, much appreciated. I can supply the platform device setup in 
arch/m68k/atari/config.c once you have decided what kind of resources or 
platform data will be needed.

If you rather want to do this - either use the ATARIHW_PRESENT() macros 
to test for  ST_SCSI (Falcon, interrupt no. IRQ_MFP_FSCSI) or TT_SCSI 
(TT, interrupt no. IRQ_TT_MFP_SCSI). Or else, replicate the logic from 
config_atari() - the SCSI chip directly mapped only in the TT integration,
the Falcon needs to access SCSI registers through the ST-DMA chip, and 
needs the weird ST-DMA locking scheme plus a few other quirks.

Looking at atari_scsi.c - the code is full of IS_A_TT() macros and other 
Atari specfic macros that could be replaced by testing bits in a feature 
map. One bit (TT or Falcon style SCSI integration) rather - that still 
leaves the register access functions for TT and Falcon to sort out.  Do 
you plan to do all that in one go? Might need another platform device 
for the ST-DMA as well ...

Cheers,
