No, that is not the plan. The platform data is well-established
for deeply embedded systems (blackfin, arm-nommu, mips32, ...) where you
never want to build a kernel for multiple boards anyway. We also
have ways to generate platform_data from the device tree properties
to allow the same driver to be used by systems with or without
full device trees, and we have the fragments I mentioned that work
in the opposite way.
Not actually true. We have drivers that can use both platform_data
and device tree data, and for platform devices the resource table is
automatically populated with irqs and register ranges, but
platform_data is driver specific which prevents any automatic
translation.
