This changes priority from platform data first to devicetree configuration first.
As such, it is an unrelated change. If needed, split into a separate patch, and
Yes I would do a separate patch normaly, agreed.

explain the reasoning, please.
Changing the platform data requires changes in the kernel code, and hence recompilation. It seems a bit unexpected that setting a new value in the dtb will be ignored because there is a compiled-in platform data. Should'nt the dtb allow to override platform data ?

Normally you would not _have_ platform data in a system which is dtb enabled.
I don't really mind changing priorities (you are right, it makes sense to
check for devicetree data first), but as mentioned as separate patch, please.

Thanks,
Guenter
