If I wasn't a PPC/OF guy to some degree, I'd hate PPC/OF people for bringing arch-specific details into a generic code... :-P No matter how small the OF code is, I believe we shouldn't put it into the generic code. Take a look at mmc_spi case again, it can be easily extended to any arch, because there is no arch-specific stuff, but a "get/put" pattern for platform data.
