We should not be changing the platform data as the device does not own
it and it may well be declared as a constant structure.
We don't change the platform data that is passed in via the driver core.
We keep a copy of it in our private strucz (that's what the subject
says) and in case of DT, we modify that copy. The passed pdata is left
untouched.
That might have been the intent but the patch only stores a _pointer_ to
the platform data in the main structure, so in non-DT case you end up
modifying the original structure.
Eh, ok. I'll change that to always make a copy. Somehow though, I like
the first approach (v1 of the set) better, which stored all data that is
modified inside the private struct directly.

Anyway, I'll submit v3 later.


Thanks,
Daniel
