Re: [PATCH] pasemi: electra IDE/pata_platform glue

Great. That should fit perfectly with the glue I have now, it'll turn
into the constructor instead.

I honestly don't see what the benefit is of this recent obsession
with creating of_platform devices for every new device that's not
PCI, especially when there's an already well-fitting driver in the
traditional platform model. It's not like the code to link the two is
large and complex.

I agree.

Also, in this particular case, the bindings are not standardized, and
there's a good chance that whatever new platform uses a similar device
will need to do something slightly different.

Yup.

Ben.
