I really don't think that is a good idea.

I don't think it's fair to require extra work now for the sake of
something that will probably never happen. Creating a platform_device
seems reasonable to me given that the driver is shared between mips
and powerpc.
More generally, the fact that we require a device tree shouldn't be
taken to imply that every device driver should be an
of_platform_driver.
Paul.
