This is getting better, but you still have a static array here, now with
a random struct device pointer in it.  That array should just go away
entirely, and the info in that structure should be what is part of the
platform device local structure.  Or am I missing some reason that would
not work?

You are close, just take it to the next step and make everything
per-device, removing the array entirely.
