platform_device resource?


If I thought it possible to parameterize the driver such that it never
had to test IS_A_TT(), I'd probably agree that this would be more
elegant.

Otherwise I'd prefer not to have parts of the logic separated off into
the platform resources while the remaining logic remains in the driver
itself.

While I don't think platform resources are desirable in this driver, I
would like to hear Michael's views.


The IRQ is a good candidate to be passed via platform data.

Geert didn't say so, but after thinking about his review comments I
imagine that he wants all the Atari IRQ numbers kept in one place and all
the Mac IRQ numbers in a different place, and so on. Makes sense.

In the end, it's the same SCSI chip.

The "only" differences are resources, interrupts, DMA, and glue logic.
