I think the opposite order woudl make more sense - if pdata is supplied
by the platform code then we should use it, otherwise try to see if
there is OF data available instead. This way one can easily override OF
data, if needed.

Okay.

Just for better understanding, why should we give more preference to pdata?

I thought, a single image with pdata can be booted with or without DT
support for keyboard. So, if we are booting without of DT for keyboard,
then use pdata, otherwise use DT data.

My reasoning is that device tree is in firmware and it might be
desirable to override firmware in certain cases.

Thanks.
