I think your work to validate the correctness of the entries is useful, but it may be more helpful to focus on removing all the unused tables, including those that have a MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() tag. If you are planning to do more such cleanups, maybe you can go through them one subsystem at a time and look for drivers that have both of_device_id and i2c_device_id/platform_device_id/ spi_device_id tables. If nothing in the kernel creates a device with the legacy string, you can then send a patch that removes the old device ID list and at the same time makes the DT support unconditional in case there is an #ifdef CONFIG_OF check. If the probe() function accesses platform_data, this would also be unused, allowing an even nicer cleanup of removing the platofrm_data path in favor of OF properties. Arnd
