In the long run, I'm all for killing of_platform if we can find a "proper" way to replace it with platform. IE. With dev_archdata, any device carries the of device node, so of_platform doesn't really buy us much anymore. We could even "default" by populating platform device resources with standard-parsing of "reg" properties etc... So for devices who don't actually need anything more, we may get away re-using platform devices as-is, all we would need is some kind of conversion table or such to map OF match to platform dev names, or maybe a secondary match table in the drivers themselves. Anyway, that's an old discussion, something we still need to sort out...
