The following series adds two apis which allow board definition
files to register bindings between device paths (like usb1/1-1/1-1.1)
and platform data. It's for use in the case that there are hardwired
chips on a board that need to be configured from the board definition
file, but the creation of the device is asynchronous to the boot
action. Beagle XM and Panda are both real-world examples where there
are hardwired chips on the PCB with fixed interconnect using USB
protocol that can benefit from platform_data for the usual reasons.
This patcheset is the platform part of a three part set which when
taken as a whole, allows the board definition file to configure
USB-wired onboard network interface assets.
