Hi Arnd,

For a separate driver, is it okay to make it depend on CONFIG_OF, and 
only have device tree bindings, or should this still support being 
registered as a static platform device with platform data?  I'm not sure 
what the consensus is on creating device tree only platform drivers.

Thanks,

Jamie
