In order to get rid of legacy platform data in AT25 driver,
convert its users to use software nodes.

This looks good to me, thanks for cleaning this up! I think Geert has this
hardware, adding him to Cc in case he wants to give it a spin.
The SPI controller is only present on TX4938, not on TX4927, so it is
unused on my rbtx4927 board.

Probably all of this can be removed, given the SPI controller driver
itself was removed in commit 74523a5dae0c96d6 ("spi: txx9: Remove
driver")?
are you ok with completly removing rbtx4938 support ? Can I rbtx4939
board support, too ?
Fine for me, I only have rbtx4927.

BTW, I'm using it in 32-bit mode, as the VxWorks bootloader cannot boot
64-bit images. Are there other boards with such a limitation? Perhaps
there's even shim support for booting 64-bit kernels on such boards,
so I can test both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels?

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
