There is no particular board I'm targeting this for however platform data support has been tested with a board file that I created for one of the TI devices (don't worry I won't try to upstream that one :) >From a silicon vendor POV I want to make sure to make it easy to use these devices for the largest audience possible hence the added pdata support as there are still archs out there that don't support DT/ACPI. With the changes based on your suggestion to use the gpiod interface also for pdata this patch has become almost trivial and so should be the effort removing this support should it ever become necessary.
