I'd rather have platform devices core clean up this pointer, then we
could stop caring about it in all drivers...

But the platform devices core just call the method of each own.
And don't care about the details like pdata, etc.

Meanwhile, I think the platform core need not care about these details.

and Greg, what do you think about this?

I don't understand what you are asking me.

They're asking if drivers should set driver_data to NULL while
unbinding, which always struck me as a waste of time given that
nothing except a currently bound driver should be using driver_data.
