Hi Gilad and all, Actually this patch is not a major improvement nor trying to solve some thing. As struct device is a member of struct platform_device, I thought why can't we use plat_dev (pointer to struct platform_device) through out the code. May be I was trying to make code look compact, may be I am wrong. >> >> Why is having a local variable undesirable?

It is definitely making the code more readable and shortening line lengths. Please drop the patch, if this not helping the code look better.
