The set_vpp() method provided by physmap passes a map_info back to
the platform code, which has little relevance as far as the platform
is concerned (this parameter is completely unused).

Instead, pass the platform_device, which can be used in the pismo
driver to retrieve some important information in a nicer way, instead
of the hack that was in place.

Not really sure if a 'struct device' would be more generic here, though this
case is simply a 'struct platform_device'.

While I agree that 'struct device' is more generic, physmap only knows
about platform_devices. Should another device type be added to physmap,
this would make sense. But at the moment I'd like to limit the code
churn to what is strictly necessary.

Cheers,
