I don't think we want to encourage an ever growing list of platforms
here.  If we did this on ARM, this would be hellishly long.
Ok.
NAK.  We have interfaces in the AMBA code for dynamically allocating
AMBA devices now - please use them instead of coding your own.  They
avoid bugs.
Sure. Thanks for noting. Maybe it wasn't there when I coded this
initially. Will do.

This looks like debugging.
Yes. After sending I noted this and another point. I apologize.
Version 2 will be fixed in all respects.
This comes nowhere close to being sane with the driver model. [...]
In other words, save off the platform data pointer, unregister the struct
device, and then free the platform data (it will not be used at that point.)
Thanks a lot for this and also the comments on APB/AHB in the other message.
