Ok, so you would like to see the #ifdefs for the IXDP2351, IXDP2X01,
QQ2440 and MX31ADS in the cs890x driver replaced by platform_device
definitions in the platform specific code of those platforms (in the
same way as I have done for the i.MX21ADS platform)? Is this correct?

Feel free to completely dump the QQ2440 thing, the QQ2440 board support
is not in mainline and will not until it can be implemented mostly with
DT, I guess. ?At that time I will be happy to use your platform device
conversion - with the OF initialization that sombody will write ;)

I don't have Domenico's original mail...

The QQ2440 thing got submitted into the patch system while the consolidation
push was going on earlier in the year, so I ignored it (along with the other
platforms which people submitted without regard to Linus' rant.)

It's now up to the SoC maintainers whether they want to accept this stuff,
and if so how to get it into mainline (probably via Arnd) - be that in
their current form or if they think that a DT based implementation is
better.

I'll be discarding the four 'new' platforms (of which QQ2440 is one) which
have been sitting in the patch system since March in the next few days.
