Really?  Then why is the platform driver mess still in here?

Again, this should not be a platform driver.

Now you can have a CDX "bus" driver, that is a platform driver, but that
needs to be in a separate file and as a separate module and totally
independant of the CDX bus code entirely.

Otherwise this is a mess to try to sift through and determine what is,
and is not, going on.  Please split that up and get rid of all of the
platform driver stuff here and put it in a separate patch that happens
after the CDX bus logic is added.

thanks,
