This is a terrible name for an exported structure. You would at least
need some kind of a namespace prefix. But even then the need to add a
platform data structure is very questionable. We've moved past the
need for platform data in the kernel. I don't see anyone setting it up
in this series either. Could you provide more explanation on why you
would need it and who would use it?

No idea why you would need to duplicate it like this either. And why
put it in arch/.

I will hold off reviewing the rest of the patch until we get that clarified.
