Wait, what?  Why would you use the platform data field?  Why is that
needed at all?  You can specify the "type" of the device, but it seems
that you really want two different things here, busses and devices,
right?  So use two different devices and manage them differently, don't
make them the "same but different" by looking at the platform data
field.  That's not what the platform data field is for at all, sorry.

Please rework this patch, I can't take it as-is, sorry.
