It's perfectly fine to have "helpers" generate xx_platform from the device-tree. Since I added the generic dev_archdata to struct device, it's easy for the arch to keep track of OF devices for anything, it doesn't have to be an of_platform device or anything like that anymore. One of the things I have in mind is to provide a way to register "constructors" that are based on an OF match set. Those would then be called by the arch code for every OF node that matches, and would then "construct" the appropriate linux device. Could be some kind of platform device, could even be PCI devs. Ben. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
