CDX bus driver manages the scanning and populating FPGA
based devices present on the CDX bus.

The bus driver sets up the basic infrastructure and fetches
the device related information from the firmware. These
devices are registered as platform devices.
Ick, why?  These aren't platform devices, they are CDX devices.  Make
them real devices here, don't abuse the platform device interface for
things that are not actually on the platform bus.
CDX bus is capable of scanning devices dynamically,
supporting rescanning of dynamically added, removed or
updated devices.
Wonderful, that's a real bus, so be a real bus please.

thanks,
