Well, it is a hard requirement for DT...
So we'd better find alternative now, than introducing code we will have 
to remove later for my point of view.
But I guess it is up to you to decide the best strategy here...

I'm sorry if the DT community did not provide any better guidelines to 
replace that :-(

There are a bunch of arch that does not have any pdev/pdata, so some 
alternative should exist... I hope :-)
