I think so. In a previous thread you brought this up and I think
moving some of the provided infos into driverfs at a later point is
the goal, correct? At any rate, it's the Right Thing To Do(tm).

Using driverfs instead sounds fine to me. It's definitely the way to go
if all the other /proc/bus/ denizens are moving to driverfs in the near
future, anyhow. Even if not, and /proc/bus/ lives on for certain
busses, "ocp" is something of an artificial bus anyhow, and using a
driverfs interface with a structure more closely approximating the real
bus structure of the platform should be a good thing.

Done.
Some of the info - the actual list of devices/drivers - is already in
driverfs, simply by virtue of the fact that we call device_register()
and friends.
