With the new approach, I can remove this platform device altogether,
and completely rely on the sdio function device for driver probing (as
it was before). I just need to add this little support of delivering
small bits of platform data - the mechanism should be simple and
generic, and would considerably simplify the driver.

Yes, it is.

There's an hw issue with the wl1271's in-band interrupt, so we can't
use it (the issue is fixed in the wl1281 btw).

But we also have to deliver the reference clock info to the driver,
which is board-specific data, and would be relevant to all wl12xx
devices.

Thanks,
Ohad.
