Well ;-) looking more closely into it, I'd like to keep it for now: It
is a more complex statically pre-initialized struct, finally being used
in probe() for more dynamic initialization, and it ends up being used by
many other functions, including lpc32xx_start() where accessing it now
via container_of() is just a bit more elegant than a direct &controller
of the global variable.

Also, since this device is a single controller in the LPC32xx SoC, I
would keep it until some other silicon uses several of this IP core
(which I doubt), at which point we would probably still keep the (global
static) controller and memcpy it to a dynamically allocated struct.

Sounds reasonable?

Thanks,

Roland
