Well, the idea of putting the device driver code into a platform specific
location is the smaller part of the problem. Even if it was the right
thing to scan the tree and then create platform_data instead of using
the of_device, that code would still belong into the device driver.
Note that the interrupt controller code in patch 6 is different, because
it is not possible to probe interrupt controllers using the Linux
driver model -- any device driver that gets initialized must assume
that the interrupt controller code and some other infrastructure is
already running.
