I just took a brief look at the LED driver. I think it would be
reasonable to move almost all of the platform_data into the driver
itself and associate the two versions with distinct "compatible"
strings. That works in this particular case because while the driver
is generic enough to handle other cases, I also wouldn't expect
it to ever get used again on another platform.

Actually, this driver is also used by the Atom-based LaCie NASes.
Mainline support for this platforms should be provided soon.

Do you use DT for those machines as well, or how do you get the
data into the driver there?

We are using the old fashion platform_device mechanism. The resources
are defined in some board-setup files stored in the arch/x86/platform
repository.

Then better be quick, before the x86 maintainers figure out what kind
of mess they are getting into, if they want to support lots of embedded
machines in the future. ;-)
